ELECTRICITY BILL PENDING AGAINST COMPANIES IN ODISHA – ADMINISTRATION WAS IN DEEP SLEEP

By;Pradeep Pradhan

Bhubaneswar:After outcry of opposition political parties  and  few Civil Society Organisations  against  decision of  CESU for arbitrary  collection of  electricity fees from consumers following coercive methods, CESU  has  taken decision to  give first priority to  collect pending fees from the  Companies  and business establishments  against  which  crores  of  rupees   of electricity dues  pending  for years  together. 3 years  back, we  have  collected from CESU   information  about pending  bills against  Companies and KIIT , Patia  Bhubaneswar. I present  this  information  for  reference  of the readers   and educating  them  how   hundreds of  crores  of rupees  pending  against  companies  because  of their  nexus  with CESU and BJD Govt. They may have paid some dues and pretty sure  that huge might may be pending against them.

We  challenge  the  Govt. to first  collect all  pending  bills  against  Companies  and many  business  establishment  across  the state  without  granting them   a single pie of   concession against  pending Bills.

Govt. also  must  take steps  to collection Rs. 2400 crores  from Reliance Energy ( which has left Odisha ) , granted licence for  management contract  to manage NESCO, WESCO, SOUTHCO, distribution Companies in the state.
