    All hescom employees are the same. Whenever we visit they office to look into our matter of high electricity bill. They don’t reply. They will be always busy in chatting with there colleagues and if we ask them again they will tell us to write the letter which is of use and later no one will solve our problem. If we tell the wireman to look into the matter he will say to report office. This happened to me 5/6 times. Still my problem is not resolved.
