Chairman of the MPH electricity committee, Abdulrauf Taha, told Daily Trust that the residents of the community have had several meetings with KEDCO and NERC, yet they are slammed with outrageous bills of between N40,000 to N250,000 monthly.
Taha said: “These outrageous bills are coming in monthly. We have a situation whereby a one-bedroom apartment is billed N170,000 and a three bedroom is billed N250,000. In fact, the least bill is about N40,000. So we don’t know the criteria they are using and the question is, what happened to the government’s capping systems?”
He described the several meetings with NERC and the disco as fruitless since KEDCO had not implemented any of the recommendations and is yet to be sanctioned by the regulatory agency.

That only 25 of the 76 extinct water bodies of Faridabad can be revived as is clear in Haryana’s response to the NGT underscores the dismal state of affairs. At the same time, it should prompt the Haryana Government into redoubling its efforts to salvage what it can before all is lost. Indeed, the realty boom marked by rampant urbanisation and industrialisation, witnessed by this NCR town in the past few decades, has come at a huge cost of water resources. From an area blessed with abundant ponds, streams, lakes, drains and bundhs, it has, sadly, rapidly deteriorated to being marked by the Central Ground Water Board as a dark zone on account of groundwater depletion.
