- Energy Minister Dr. Nitin Raut
Akola. During the Corona period, there was a lockdown everywhere, at that time unbroken electricity was supplied to the people by Mahavitaran. It is true that during the Corona period there was a crisis on the employment of the people. Despite this, if electricity is used, then the bill that has come will have to be paid, the families of the customers who will not pay the bill will have to face darkness. If this situation is to be avoided, then support Mahavitaran by paying electricity bill, Energy Minister Dr. Nitin Raut expressed these views here.
He was speaking at the inauguration program of power sub-station constructed by Mahavitaran located at Kalamba Kasura in Balapur tehsil, Mundgaon in Akot tehsil and Wadali Deshmukh. He further said that Mahavitaran is in financial trouble due to non-payment of electricity bill even after using it, if the balance amount of electricity bills will be kept in the same way, then once again load shedding will have to be faced, he also clarified.
He said that a DP of five MVA capacity has been installed. Due to the new power sub-station, about 4 thousand electricity customers of 36 villages will get its benefit. Similarly, due to power sub-station at Kalamba Kasura in Balapur tehsil, 1475 electricity customers of these villages Kalamba Khurd and BU, Songiri, Kasura will be benefitted.
