Dear sir,

My parents are residing in House opp Kachnar resturant (Rajpura Ambala Road i.e, NH1), Vill Dharian, PO Mugal sarai, Tehsil-Rajpura, Distt Patiala, Punjab, Pin-140417. we are having electricity connection for past 18 years trhough Baproar village transmission line. We heve been paying regular electricity bills on time and there are no dues pending against us till date.

3. Now the Baproar village has got upgraded Transmission connection under Urban Pattern Electricity Scheme around 2 years back, under which the domestic electricity connections will get power supply for 18-24 hrs in a day.

4. The PSEB without intimating/ consent had shifted our domestic electricity connection from above mentioned transmission line to local irrigation pumps transmission line, where power supply is available for 6-8 hrs in 24 hrs.

5. It is intimated that my old parents and grandmother (all senior citizens) are residingin the hoouse, and due to non availabity of electricity are constantly facing problems, like due to non availability of electricity, my grandmother (85 years old) fell down in darkness and had major injury on her lower part of the body. Few days back she had undergone major operation and is presently cannot move and is on bed rest. Non availability of electricity add-on to her pain as the weather is very hot and humid.

6. It is also intimated that there are three transmission lines passing nearby :-
(a) Kachnar Resturant 200 m away
(b) Another transmission line 250 m away
(c) Baproar village transmission line few meters away.

7. It is intimated that my father who is a senior citizen, is complaining and running behind the elctricity deptt officials for past 2 years and had given number of applications for reinstating the electricity connection from village Baproar transmission line. He also requested that if the connection cannot be provided from village Baproar transmission line then connection of our home as well as five more connections be shifted to some other upgraded transmission line which are under Urban Pattern Electricity Scheme.
