Gurugram. On the demand of construction of 33 KV substation in Habitat Society located in Sector 99A, the builder has demanded 50 thousand rupees per family. The people of the society held a meeting on Thursday, in which it was said that people have been living in the society for six years, but the 33 KV substation has not been constructed as per the rules.

About 800 families living here have to face power crisis every day due to fault in the 11 KV feeder coming from Sector 37, five km away. The demand of about 50 thousand rupees per family to build the substation has been opposed by the society residents.

Society resident Praveen Thakur said that it is the responsibility of the builder management to build a 33 KV substation. The management is demanding 50 thousand rupees from every family. People are not ready to give it. There are 816 flats and 50 shops in this society. People often have to face the problem of cable fault and low voltage. Society’s RWA president Dalbir Singh said that the builder has to pay about 3.5 crore rupees to the electricity corporation for the 33 KV substation. Now he wants to hand over the management of the society to the RWA but before that he wants to take this amount from the residents.

Whereas the builder has to build the 33 KV substation. People have been living here for the last 6 years. We have talked to the nearby affordable societies. The builder has built 33 KV substation at those places as well. In such a situation, people have refused to give money for the 33 KV substation in the meeting.
