Colombo, March 26 (Daily Mirror) - The National Front of Civil Organizations (NFCO) today demanded that the Ministry of Power and Energy repay the fees collected as electricity reconnection charges.
NFCO president Priyantha Thilakarathna told the media that Rs. 3,000 is charged from electricity consumers for reconnections at present, but it was not reduced as announced by the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL).
He said that the PUCSL had announced the revised charges for electricity consumers for reconnections, but the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) had not taken any decision to revise the reconnection charges.
Therefore, the members of the NFCO gathered in front of the CEB head office in Colombo today, requesting the authority to reveal the total amount of charges collected through the electricity reconnection process via the Right to Information Act.

When an electricity consumer defaults due to non payment and requests reconnection he should pay the reconnection charges since the workers doing this job will have to be paid their salaries, overtime and also expenditure for running the vehicles for this purpose. If the electricity board refunds the reconnection charges it is unfair by the other users who have paid the electricity bill on the due date as per the terms and conditions stipulated. !!!!!
