HYDERABAD, March 17 Hesco officials on Tuesday disconnected power supply to 11 beauty parlors in Kohinoor Shopping Centre and Garhi Khata and of two printing presses in a campaign against electricity theft.

A special team raided Kohinoor Shopping Centre and printing presses, seized electric wires and issued a letter to the SHO city police station to register criminal cases against power thieves.

Hesco authorities have urged consumers to get their power connections legalised and clear their outstanding dues failing which their power supply will be disconnected and FIRs lodged against them.
