The South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited on Wednesday decided to install 11 new any time payment machines and 10 additional electricity bill counters in 10 divisions of Patna.

At present, Pesu has one machine installed in each of its divisions. The company intends to set up 11 new machines — five in the east and six in the west division. The new machines would be installed within a fortnight at Vidyut Bhavan, Board Colony, Sahitya Sammelan, Patliputra, Digha, Beur and other places. “The move would help residents deposit electricity bills easily,” said H.R. Pandey, the firm’s spokesperson.
