One day after the visit of the President of the Southern Transitional Council to the governorate, the Electricity Corporation in Lahj Governorate launched collective punishment and a random and unregulated power cut on citizens.
Citizens in a number of areas in Taban complained about electricity representatives cutting off power to their homes even though they Pay your electricity bills regularly.
They demanded that the Lahj Electricity Administration stop laziness and randomness and implement a disconnection of power for those who default on paying bills instead of collective punishment of the living.
Citizens were surprised that the Lahj Electricity Administration followed random methods, as its service is known to only come at the end of the season. In winter, when the weather gets colder throughout the days of summer, fuel goes to ice factories and electricity is absent from their homes, especially when the weather gets hot.
They called on the Turkish governor to put an end to this nonsense, and force the Lahj Electricity Administration to summon its inactive engineers and assign them to go down to disconnect the electricity from those who abstain. About paying consumption bills instead of completely withdrawing the neighborhoods’ fuses and circuit breakers, because this is collective punishment that is rejected in law and in reality.
They pointed out that cutting off electricity to entire neighborhoods and generalizing the dismissal by equating those obligated to pay with the defaulters is a failed administrative measure that pushes those obligated to pay to default because the punishment extended to them. And they are paid.
