Political parties are stepping up the pressure on Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (AEML) over its allegedly inflated electricity bills. With the 15-day period given by MNS to AEML coming to an end, the party's workers have put up hoardings across the suburbs, challenging the power supplier to participate in open public debate.

They want AEML to prove electricity charges have only been hiked by 0.2 per cent, as approved by the MERC, and not by the 15 to 20 per cent that several citizens have seen in their bills.
