The Power Division has refuted circulating reports claiming a ban on the installation of second electricity meters.

In a statement, Power Division categorically denied the rumours and said that the second meter can still be obtained under the law.

A spokesperson for the division stated that these rumors spreading on social media are completely false and misleading.  

The statement said second meter can be installed in a separate portion, circuit, entrance and kitchen. However, the law to prevent misuse of power and undue benefit of subsidy existed earlier is still in full force.

Rumors have been circulating about a potential ban on maintaining multiple electricity meters per building or under a single name.
