Forms for power connections distributed

The Executive Engineer, V.P. Dhingra, who supervised the operation, told Newsline that this camp was organised on the initiative of the Mayor. With the distribution of 530 forms to those whose names are isted in the survey of the Estate Office, the number forms distributed in the Janata and Kumhar colonies has gone up to 45,000 against 5,000 eligible slum-dwellers.

To avoid any inconvenience to slum-dwellers, the Executive Engineer said the camp for security deposit can be held in the colony, if the residents wanted and added that no camp will be held in the future and the electrification process in these colonies would be completed shortly thereby paving the way for complete removal of kundis8217;.

Speaking on the occasion, he strongly defended the cause of issuing ration cards to all persons whose names are in the voters8217; list.
