Both electricity connections of Congress Bhawan, one for urban and one for rural units have reportedly been disconnected. The department had directed the operators of the Congress Bhawan to continue paying the bills, but after repeated appeals by the department officials no effort was made by the party to restore the connection.
According to the information, about a week ago, the Powercom employees went to cut the connection, but then the Congress leaders asked the officials to grant them some more time to pay the bill. Meanwhile, Congress district president Balraj Thakur had also contacted some Congress leaders to submit the bill, but due to non-availability of funds, the bill could not be paid. Congress Bhavan's outstanding bills have been increasing for the past several years. A senior official of Powercom confirmed that action is being taken against the defaulters.
