स्मार्ट मीटर रोलआउट ने भारत भर में राजनीतिक तूफान और जनसभा को उत्तेजित किया।

The installation of smart electricity meters has ignited widespread controversy in several Indian states, particularly Andhra Pradesh and Tripura. Opposition parties and public groups are protesting against rising power tariffs and alleging that smart meters lead to inflated bills and potential corruption. While government officials and power companies insist that smart meters will not impose extra costs on consumers and are essential for modernizing the power sector, critics argue that the rollout lacks transparency and adequate public education. The issue has become a major political flashpoint, with protests, agitations, and heated debates between ruling parties and the opposition. Authorities are now focusing on public awareness campaigns to address misconceptions and ease public concerns.
