"So far, we had 1912 as our call centre number. To make things even easier for consumers, we are giving WhatsApp numbers. Consumers will get a quick and hassle-free response soon after they send a message to their respective district’s helpline number," Sunil Kumar said.
Further, to bring in more coordination between helpline centres and Bescom section offices during the rainy season, Assistant Executive Engineers (AEE) have been appointed as nodal officers at helpline centres. "These officers will be working on a shift basis and will provide better service to the consumers," a senior official said.
Over 2 lakh transformers serviced
Under the Energy Department’s transformers maintenance campaign, more than two lakh transformers have been serviced in Karnataka so far, the Minister said. "This is the first time such a campaign was carried out in Karnataka, and we want the numbers to touch five lakh. But owing to unseasonal rains, our engineers had to focus on other work. We are thinking about continuing the campaign," he said.
