BJP MLA Shailesh Mehta from Dabhoi in Vadodara raised the issue of “excessive electricity bills” being handed out to municipalities for payment of dues for streetlights that are installed by the R&B department in the ongoing Assembly session on Friday.
Close to a month after over 30 municipalities in Gujarat saw the electricity board snapping off their connection for non-payment of dues, Mehta urged the state government to offer “subsidies” in electricity to Municipalities.
According to Mehta, he raised the issue before the government in Gujarat Assembly Friday while participating in a discussion on supplementary demands of various departments, including Energy and Petrochemicals.
