Do you know which profession is the best in India? Have you guessed it when you saw this telephone pole?
is indeed an "electrician"! It’s not easy for Third Brother! One-third of the country's annual electricity production is "clearly robbed". The messy wiring on the streets gives world-class "senior electricians" a headache, but someone can accurately find the wires they need and do it "for free" electricity can be delivered to your home.
India's electricity theft is blatant
As more and more people join the "power theft army", the Indian power company has a debt of 2.5 trillion rubles , and it relies on state subsidies to avoid bankruptcy. On the streets of India, you can see terrifying sparks emitting from the electric wires above your head. Someone is carrying a simple ladder, calmly climbing to the telephone pole, biting open the outer covering of the wire with his teeth, and accurately finding his target, two Once the wires are connected, you can get free electricity.
"Electricity thief" is a highly respected profession in the eyes of the poor. It also follows what some congressmen say - "Electricity is a gift from God". Why should I charge? What's more, the power supply hours for residents are limited, the transformers are smoking every day, the power company does not show up when repairing, but the electricity bill collector is quite active.
Kanpur is a city with 3 million people, but 90% of the people choose to steal electricity to live. Even students have learned to steal electricity. The power company cannot tolerate it and cooperates with the police to rectify this unhealthy phenomenon. They Walking through the streets, going deep into the streets, taking photos, registering, and issuing fines, the entire neighborhood was also filled with panic. The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and a month later, not to mention the fine, no one even paid the electricity bill. The threat of "power outage" has no deterrent effect on them. Even if the power is cut off, although the "power thieves" have never studied physics and only use water to douse the transformer when it catches fire, they are proficient in circuits and can even steal electricity with serious electricians. They all feel inferior to themselves. If you dare to break it, they can steal it later.
Which electrician company is the best in the world? The third brother said that no one would dare to call him the first when he was second. Speaking of which, Third Brother's power system itself is a "miracle". Not only does it have a street wire network that is extremely obsessive-compulsive, but also because the whole country steals electricity, it is the third largest installed capacity in the world, but the electricity consumption is at the bottom.
India’s electricity cannot make ends meet
The power company has suffered huge losses due to residents stealing electricity. It is no longer possible to replace lines or upgrade equipment. The old circuit system makes power rationing and blackouts the norm, which naturally causes dissatisfaction among the people. The locals probably believe in the life philosophy of "a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist", so cut off a Lines illuminate a village. In India under the scorching heat, it is impossible to live a normal life without stealing electricity.
Electricity is not only a light for residents at night, but also an important cornerstone of production activities. Due to frequent power outages, some large factories in Kanpur have fled. Hundreds of leather factories have closed down. Small handicraft workshops use diesel. The generator was used as a backup, roaring for countless days and nights. The salary was changed from monthly to piece-rate, just because the power supply was not smooth. In this way, Kanpur's economy went backwards, although India's electricity bills were not High, if ordinary people still can’t afford it, they can continue to steal electricity. However, users who pay their electricity bills normally will have their electricity stolen. If they continue to pay, it will be really a “pure big grievance.” At this point, a perfect closed loop is formed.
However, in places like schools and hospitals, ordinary residents suffer from power outages. Once the power goes out, even the most urgent surgeries can only "wait".
The electric power company is eager to recover its arrears. With liquidity, it can update equipment, ensure smooth circuits, and maintain residents' production and life. However, in the eyes of "electricity thieves", electric power companies only have "money" and do not care about the lives of the people. This irreconcilable contradiction is like the lines on the streets of Kanpur, which "remain chaotic without being cut."
The "electricity thieves" in the third brother's family are not even afraid of high-voltage electricity. Are they still afraid of the power company? In their opinion: electricity is sent by God. As long as I hold my breath when connecting the wires with my bare hands, the current will not reach me.
Politicians' games go over and over again
Although the hands of the "Electricity Stealer" are covered with scars from electric shocks, he believes that he is protected by gods compared to his fellow comrades who died.
The issue of electricity is a fundamental matter for the country, but when the conflict between the power company and the people reached its peak, the Third Brother family member firmly stood on the side of the voters. Not only did he go to the power company to confront him, but he also held street demonstrations and gatherings to protest. The saying "Electricity comes from God" instantly won the hearts of the people. Finally, the female manager was forced to step down less than a year after arriving in Kanpur. This is normal for power companies. The heads of their departments rarely work for more than a year. As for the "electricity thieves", He also knows very well that politicians will make various promises with their hands folded when necessary. Once successful, they will be prosperous for a month or two, but then all the promises will disappear, and the residents will seem to have "amnesia." Everything eventually returns to its former glory.
Theft of electricity must be related to poverty, especially no matter how power outages and power rationing occur, the electricity in wealthy areas can be guaranteed. The staff of the power company themselves will also accept bribes and modify the meters for personal gain. If there is a mole, stop it. trade.
The electricity thieves have only one belief. Since the rich and politicians are exploiting the common people, stealing their things cannot be considered "stealing".
The electricity lost by the third brother in a year is equivalent to the electricity generated by the old neighbor Baba Yang’s house in a year. But so what, who can smooth out this unsolvable thread? In this story, everyone's ideas are well-founded, which makes people speechless. Well, that’s it for today. Team members would like to give a strong thumbs up and recommendation. Life is wonderful. Thank you for having you. See you in the next issue.
