Pravin Darekar of BJP raised the issue of adivasi 'padas' (settlements) inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park, located within Mumbai limits, who are yet to get electricity.
"Despite Mumbai being an international city, adivasi padas inside the SGNP are without electricity. Whenever tribals demand electricity, the Government asks them to get an NOC from the civic body and Forest Department. Will the Government do something to help them?" he asked.
Bajoria alleged the government-owned utility Mahavitaran has provided 8 lakh "faulty" electricity meters in Mumbai, Pune and Kalyan.
"Mahavitaran violated rules while giving contracts for supplying meters, leading to trouble for consumers in Mumbai, Pune and Kalyan. What action has been taken against the officials concerned?" he asked.
Bawankule refuted the allegations and said companies vying for contracts have to clear various tests before becoming eligible to supply meters.
