Greater Noida West: There has been a serious problem with electricity supply in Shri Radha Sky Garden Society located in Greater Noida West in the last week. Due to this, about 1,300 families are trapped in a situation of house arrest. People are not even getting drinking water in this scorching heat.
‘Scam of crores of rupees by the builder’
Residents allege that the builder has taken only 1,100-kilowatt electricity connection from Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), while the actual demand is 5000-7000 kilowatts. Due to this low load, when the demand/ electric consumption increases in summer, the power supply trips repeatedly and there is no electricity for hours. Also, the builder has not kept adequate diesel generator backup. Rented generators of only 1250 KVA capacity have been installed, while he had taken Rs 6-7 crore in advance from the residents at the rate of 2 kilowatts per flat. Residents allege that the builder has defrauded them of crores of rupees in the name of electricity connection and generator backup.
Residents reached Cherry County Police Outpost and Bisrakh Police Station on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at night hours regarding this problem. They demanded to register a case against the builder, but no action has been taken so far.
