The term Kundi

The term "Kundi" seems to be punjabi in origin. It does not reflect the entire country. I mean, yes there is electricity theft in all parts of the country, but it is called kundi/kundi connection in Punjab alone. I am not aware of other places using a specific term to call illicit connections. Other languages/regions use generic terms like "power theft"/"illegal connections" to refer to this phenomenon. So i suggest moving this to a generic title like "power stealing in india" and explain in the article it is called "kundi" in Punjab--Sodabottle (talk) 06:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess

It doesn't reflect a worldwide view and is lazily written 219.90.186.23 (talk) 04:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article directly ripped from HandWiki

I was trying to figure out where some of the more bold claims in this article come from, when I stumbled across this page on my google search. Turns out that this article is directly ripped from HandWiki. HandWiki claims not to hold copyright on any of their articles, so I'm not sure what the policy of copying it here is. Regardless, the article needs a complete overhaul, so hopefully it won't end up mattering. DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 18:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DeVos Max: No, HandWiki is just a Wikipedia mirror. It actually credits Wikipedia as the source at the bottom of their article. Handwiki is the one violating the license, because they claim the content is public domain, when it's licensed under CCBYSA 3.0, which is different than public domain.

Access to reliable electricity is crucial for the economic and social development of any country. In Pakistan, a website providing information on electricity is proving to be an invaluable resource. This website is a one-stop-shop for all electricity-related information in Pakistan, providing users with up-to-date news, analysis, and statistics on the country's electricity sector. This includes information on electricity generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as details on tariffs, subsidies, and energy policies. By making this information easily accessible, the website is helping to promote transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making in Pakistan's electricity sector. As such, it is an important tool for anyone interested in Pakistan's energy landscape. 119.160.57.146 (talk) 08:32, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about this other type of electrical theft?

Suppose someone plugs a device into an outside electrical outlet without the owner of that outlet knowing. That's also theft, right? Is it not common enough to be mentioned on this article? That seems to me to be the easiest way to steal electricity, especially if the plug is well-hidden and out of the way. Dogman15 (talk) 22:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
