A planned highway blockade protest against smart electricity meter installations has been postponed. The protest was initially set for September 7 along a national highway. It was called off to avoid traffic congestion and inconvenience during certain festivals and a holy period.

An all-party protest march will be held instead, heading to the main office of Mahavitaran. Residents have complained about the rapid installation of smart meters without consent, claiming they cause inflated electricity bills.

Further details about the protest and the issues with smart meters are available from the source.
