CHANDIGARH, SEPT 20
 Haryana Power Minister Capt. Ajay Singh Yadav today directed officials of power utilities to begin the process to  provide power connections in the unauthorized colonies as per the policy of the State Government.
          It may be recalled that Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Municipal Areas (Special Provisions) Bill, 2013 was passed in the recent session of the State Assembly  to provide basic facilities to the people in the unauthorized colonies for which common compounding policy is being prepared.
          Capt. Ajay Singh Yadav was reviewing functioning of  power utilities in a meeting with their senior officers here today.
          Capt. Ajay Singh Yadav said that the electricity connections of the defaulters, who had not paid their electricity bills, would not be disconnected in case they are ready to pay 50 per cent of the balance amount. He said that such consumers would be given another chance to pay  their due balance. Also, a letter of commitment  should be taken from such  defaulters that they would soon pay the second installment of their remaining  amount, he added.
          During the meeting, he reviewed a total of 147 complaints out of which 81 were related to Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, 55  to Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam and 11 to Vigilance Wing.
