"The companies involved in supplying poor quality transformers and meters should be black-listed. Also, strict action should be initiated against officers involved in their verification", Yadav said addressing a meeting to review the power scenario in the state.
The CM also directed the officers to install such meters on feeders through which power consumers could get information about time of power supply and asked them to visit states where such techniques are in place.
About line-loss, Yadav said that pre-paid meters should be installed, if possible, in areas where feeders have huge line-loss.
Managing Director and Chairman UP Power Corporation, Avnish Awasthi said that the process to black-list 14 companies involved in poor transformer supply was underway and two officers involved in verification work have already been suspended.
The CM also directed officers to improve power distribution.
