MNS workers vandalise MSEDCL office over inflated electricity bills

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists on Monday created ruckus and damaged furniture at State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) office at Ambad in Jalna district over "excessive light bills", police said.

Police has arrested one person and booked seven others in connection with the incident.

An official said a delegation of some MNS activists met MSEDCL officials earlier in the day to discuss the issue.

"However, disagreement between two sides over some issues resulted into the incident," the official said.

Police inspector Anirudhha Nandedkar said one person has been arrested.

MNS had held protests at many places in the state over inflated power bills received by lakhs of people during the lockdown period.
