The electricity supply to over 47 street lights in MHADA colony, Mulund, has been cut off due to unpaid bills by the ward office. Residents report that all 47 street lights have been inactive for the past six days, owing to outstanding electricity bills amounting to Rs 16 lakh. While an MSEB official alleges non-payment by the BMC since last year, the BMC denies any such negligence, asserting that all bills have been duly settled.
“We use our mobile torches on the road as no streetlights are functioning. The BMC says that there is no bill pending, however when we asked the MSEB they said that they have written multiple letters to the BMC regarding the non-payment of bills worth Rs 16 lakh and we continue to suffer every evening due to their internal conflicts. We have a population of 10,000 people in the colony and senior citizens are the worst hit,” said Ravi Naik, President of the MHADA Colony Society Association.
