Electricity Connections Provided to 36 Harsh Vihar Homes After Eight-Year Delay

Thirty-six households in northeast Delhi's Harsh Vihar area have received regular electricity connections after nearly eight years of waiting. The delay was due to the unavailability of land for an electric sub-station since around 2018 when 50 to 60 houses were constructed. Following a public grievance hearing, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta directed officials to coordinate and resolve the issue promptly. Electrification work, including transformer installation and meter issuance, is now complete or underway, with all families expected to receive connections soon.
