The union government on Thursday told the Delhi high court that it has given approval for the installation of electricity connection for Pakistan Hindu refugees staying in north Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar. Noting this submission, the court directed Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) to electrify the area within 30 days.
A bench of chief justice Satish Chandra Sharma and justice Subramonium Prasad was informed by central government standing counsel Anurag Alhuwalia that the Ministry of Defence, on whose land the Hindu-refugees were residing, has given the permission to grant electricity connection to the residents considering the human issues involved in the matter.
Advocate Alhuwalia gave a letter by the Ministry of Defence dated November 7 by which the approval was granted.
