The financial situation of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) is critical and dues to be recovered from consumers are ever-increasing, officials from the state energy department told Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in a meeting on Tuesday.
Following the meeting, Energy Minister Nitin Raut said that a presentation was made to Thackeray as was demanded by the state Cabinet. “The BJP government is greatly responsible for not recovering the dues,” he alleged.
Officials said that crores of rupees are pending as dues and if these are not recovered, the state can face darkness as the electricity transmission, distribution and generation companies will be in turmoil.
