    Highly corrupt contractors work in hand with MESCOM officials and laidback attitude because of Govt Job security.But nobody should take law in their hands to punish anybody..highly condemnable!

    While condemning the assault, a time will come when such acts increase due the relentless harassment of common man becomes intolerable and he is pushed against the wall with no other recourse!!

    Imagine how much harassment the uneducated and downtrodden might be facing??

    MESCOM is one of the worst power utility co! Their work and service is very sloppy! Linemen are thick skinned and without greasing palms they hesitate to attend to complaints!

    Nice gift he got . All he best to the person who did this. Some body who is bold enough is needed now a days.

    Now a days MESCOM people take the fuse if there is very little money pending. And I am sad to say without the knowledge of the house owners.

    If the payment done they will not REPLACE THE FUSE. People should put leave to the job and collect the fuse from MESCOM office. This is my experience.

    All the best to the brave family who did this. MESCOME should learn the lesson.

    Christine, Mangalore,

    Did the lineman did that without the rules in place? WASN'T THAT LINEMAN ON DUTY? IS THERE A PROVISION IN LAW TO MANHANDLE A GOVT. EMPLOYEE?

    MESCOM CAN HELP CONSUMERS BY GIVING THE FUSE BACK TO AVOID ASSAULTS AND ABUSES AT THE PLACE OF BILL REMITTANCE after the consumer clears the dues.

    I waited two months for my fuse. They have not replace after my payment. I had no leave so I paid 500 to a person and sent to bring fuse. I went to my relatives house to stay .

    Why they are not replacing the after payment.

    This is the first case i heard MESCOM people replaced the fuse.

    Now days MESCOM people take fuse even for very small amount pending.

    From top to bottom same arrogant attitude; so complaining doesn't work or they will keep grudge against the complaint and harass him later!

    People like you are those support mob lynching. There are always alternate ways to tackle issues and beating officials and workers is the choice of third rated goondas. We being D.K people always must display good and responsible behaviour when we deal with such issues.

    CHRISTINE, MANGALORE — shame on you! No one has a right to abuse or assault anyone more so an employee who is doing his job. If you have a grievance against MESCOM, please take it up with the organisation — do not abuse and assault an innocent employee who is working hard to feed his family! Electricity would not have been disconnected if the person paid his/her dues for consumption of electricity. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Your comment reflects a cheap mentality of cheating and then taking law into your own hands!

    CHRISTINE, Mangalore — sadly you have every excuse in the book to justify your wrong. From your previous rants it's hard to believe that you reached at 3:15 or 3:20pm and even if you did and were refused you could have reported the same to the authorities rather than support abuse and assault of an employee. Imagine if your husband was abused and assaulted while he was doing his job? Would you be saying the same?
