JAKARTA - The State Electricity Company (PLN) imposed a fine of IDR 80 million on a doctor named Maitra in Surabaya, East Java.
This fine was imposed because the electricity meter at the doctor's house Maitra in the Pakuwon Surabaya housing area contained jumper cables which made electricity tariffs minus and was detrimental to the state.
The State Electricity Company (PLN) imposed a fine of Rp. 80 million on a doctor named Maitra in Surabaya, East Java, because the electricity meter in Maitra's house contained a jumper cable which made electricity rates minus and harmed the state.
Cases of fines with this fantastic amount have also occurred in Jakarta.
Previously, this case had happened to a customer who uploaded his story on his Instagram social media.
The customer, known as @sharonwicaksono, complained about a fine of RP68 million given by PLN for allegedly using a fake seal.
In response to this, the Manager of Communications and TJSL PLN UID East Java, Anas Febrian explained, the differences in the two cases.
"For the case in Jakarta, when checked, the meter is still in normal condition. But in the case in Surabaya, it is clear that there was an error," he said when contacted by VOI, Friday, August 12.
He added that the fine was due to the condition of the doctor's house electricity meter having problems, such as the seal on the electricity meter was broken and jumper cables were also found.
Meanwhile, for the case of fines in Jakarta, Anas continued, when the inspection was carried out, the condition of the meter was still functioning 100 percent and no jumper cables were found that affected the flow of electric power.
"In Jakarta, the case was for the tock seal. There were considerations of natural factors so that the seal became like that, while in the case in Surabaya, illegal cables were found in the meter," he concluded.
For information, the fine case in Surabaya was followed up with the payment of a fine by the customer concerned.
"For this doctor, he is subject to a penalty in the form of paying a fine of Rp. 80 million. The fine is immediately paid and settled. So with various considerations, the electricity supply to the doctor's house is not cut off," he said.
