AGARTALA, Feb 25 (TIWN): Ruling Government where spends huge amount of money in the election campaign but no initiatives has been taken to clear the pending bill of Rs. Rs. 69 crores.

Earlier talking to TIWN correspondent, official sources stated that despite of details of the pending bills has been sent to the concern department no initiative has been taken to clear the bills.

Besides, the official stated that till the month of December, 2015 a total bill of around Rs. 69 crores has been figured out by the Power Department.

Despite of several days passed the State Government is yet reluctant to pay the stunning figure.

It is to be mentioned here that the power department has already send a copy of detailed pending bills to the concern departments under the State Government where the electricity bill has extended from Rs. 1 Lakh.

The situation raised several question, the ruling Government can pay lakhs of rupees for the election campaign buy why delaying in clearing the pending bills? Chief Minister of the State can take chopper ride for attending election campaigning but while clearing the bills the state government runs lack of fund.

However on one hand where the Government departments are not clearing their bills but still using the power service, on the other hand there are families whose electricity connection has been disconnected as they have failed to clear the pending electricity bills.

The Government who makes rule for the common mass that if the consumers do not clear the bill on time then their connection will be disconnected but the same Government is least bother to follow the same rule as they are the ruling Government.

It is to be mentioned here that despite the stunning figures of pending bills; the power connection to the departments cannot not be disconnected as most of their services come under the emergency category. Therefore, the hands of the power department is tied with several responsibilities and their attempt of collecting bill remains bound till requesting the Department to pay the bills on time.

However, it seems like as the Electricity Department is unable to disconnect the connection the concern department is using the electricity connection without any problem.
