This cobbler shop gets Rs 2-lakh power bill

"When I went to the MSEB office, they asked me to pay the bill. Besides, they assured me that they'd look into the matter.

But, how will I pay the bill? I earn just Rs 2,000-3,000 a month and have a huge family to feed," said Ahire, who has pasted copies of the bill inside his shop and on an electric pole outside the shop to let people know the price he is paying for lighting a bulb.

Ram Dontonde, Public Relation Officer of the MSEB, agreed that the bill was a mistake. "We'll have to find out the reason why such a thing happened and rectify the same."
