Mumbai: Adani Electricity has warned that they will be forced to undertake mass disconnection of electricity in Siddharth Colony, Chembur as the residents have not been paying bills for the past 16 years.
Adani Electricity says that the outstanding has touched ₹98.99 crore. A spokesperson for the company said that the last disconnection took place in August 2019. However, it was restored on humanitarian grounds on assurance of settling the past dues. Despite repeated actions and warnings, the residents of Siddharth Society are adamant about not clearing previous dues despite the fact that electricity was consumed by them.
“Despite multiple relaxations, several notices and reminders, consumers from Siddharth Colony and Shuddhodhan Nagar have not cleared their outstanding dues and continue to default on their current dues as well. This puts an unnecessary tariff burden on our regular paying consumers and such a situation is unacceptable. We are therefore obligated and constrained to initiate mass disconnection against such defaulters in interest of our regular paying consumers,” said the spokesperson of Adani Electricity.
