A resident of Kabul has reported a substantial increase in their monthly electricity bill. The amount has gone up from between 800 and 900 Afghanis to more than 2,000 Afghanis. This occurred despite no change in the level of electricity consumption or the purchase of additional appliances.

The citizen described the rise as unexpected and unexplained. Similar reports have emerged from other residents facing the same issue with their electricity charges.

The complaints have included claims that meter readers are not taking accurate readings. Instead, they are said to be recording estimated or false figures for the meters.

These accounts point to potential problems in the billing system for electricity. Residents continue to express concerns over the accuracy of the charges they receive each month.

The situation has led to calls for better verification of meter readings to ensure bills reflect actual usage. Many households are affected by these reported discrepancies in the capital city.
