“Since there is misleading information in some newspapers and websites with the headline claiming that an electricity meter was installed in the tent where the earthquake survivors stay in Kahramanmaraş and there is no electricity in the tents without meters, it has been made it necessary to make a statement as ELDER, the umbrella organization of 21 distribution companies.
