Overview
- Officials said 36 households in Harsh Vihar began receiving regular electricity connections on Sunday after nearly eight years without authorised supply.
- The colony’s lack of service dated to 2018 when about 50–60 houses were built but no space was available for an electric sub‑station, blocking formal connections.
- Residents raised the problem at a public grievance hearing, prompting Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to direct agencies to coordinate a fix and fast‑track work.
- Authorities arranged land for a transformer, installed it, expanded the distribution network, issued most demand notes and are currently installing meters for eligible homes.
- Families said they had relied on paid generator hours and short‑term summer moves to rented housing, and several met the chief minister at Jan Seva Sadan to thank her as officials pledged to connect the remaining households soon.
