The problem 32ALE solves

Electricity theft has been a major challenge in Punjab, and its effects have been far-reaching and damaging. The PSPCL, being the state-owned electricity distribution company, has been particularly affected by the theft of electricity.

Illegal connections and meter tampering have resulted in significant amounts of electricity being stolen, leading to lower revenues for the PSPCL. This has made it difficult for the company to meet its financial obligations, including providing reliable power supply to all customers.
The financial losses from electricity theft only add to the burden that the PSPCL is already facing. The company has accumulated a large amount of debt, which it is struggling to repay. The PSPCL's inability to improve the quality of power supply and keep up with the increasing demand for electricity has also impacted the daily lives of citizens, who may experience power cuts and interruptions in their electricity supply.

In conclusion, electricity theft has created a vicious cycle for the PSPCL, making it difficult for the company to provide reliable and efficient power supply. It has also had a negative impact on the state's economy and the overall power sector in Punjab.
