R Kamaraj, State Minister for Food, Civil Supplies, Consumer Protection and Price Control inspected the Pulse Oximeter based corona screening mobile service held at Jai Nagar 16th Street in Arumbakkam. Also seen along

during the inspection were V. N. Ravi, MLA (Virugambakkam) and Dr. S. Vinith, IAS, Zonal Inspection Officer.

According to a Tangedco official, about 1.41 lakh

smart meters have been procured from Venus Power Ventures India Ltd to be installed on the consumer premises. “We have received the smart meters from the manufacturers and it is being tested at the meter relay testing wing. After the testing, we will start installing them on the premises of the consumers,” the official said. The smart

meters would eliminate human intervention for fetching of meter data and to facilitate disconnection or reconnection by remotely making use of the meters with radio frequency-based communication technology. The smart meters are being procured

According to sources, the smart meter installation could have commenced by now if not for the lockdown. “With the limited field staff and the spread of the virus, the meter installation is getting delayed. As the field workers have to visit each premise to replace the digital meters with smart meters, the workers are afraid of contracting COVID-19 while carrying out the task of installing 1.41 lakh meters,” sources added.
