GURGAON: Residents of Sushant Lok fear that their two decades-old residential township will plunge into darkness any moment as they recently discovered that their colony only has a temporary power supply and the electricity department has threatened to disconnect the supply if the private developer fails to provide them four acres land that is needed to construct a 66kV substation.
The residents allege that four acre land is nowhere available in the 601 acre township as the town and country planning department and private developer have sold away all the land, without bothering to earmark a space to build the substation.
According to residents, the temporary connection to the township is provided through a few 11 KV feeders of DHVBN. It is a temporary connection up to a limit of 19 megavolt ampere (MVA) for all the five blocks (A, B, C, D, E), but as the colony grows, the total requirement will be about 95 MVA.
?There are frequent power cuts in our area due to the limited power supply. There are constant fluctuations and we fear there will be a repeat of the Uphaar tragedy as our private developer Ansals has not even bothered to repair the electric panels that are in a bad shape,? said Gulshan Rai Malhotra, a resident.
According to estimates by the electricity department, it will cost Rs 26 crore to build the 66 KV substation and to upgrade the overhead lines. This amount is apart from the four acre land that Ansal is to provide them.
?The department says it will take about 18 months to create substation and is willing to shell out 25 per cent of the total cost. However, the developer is not willing to pay its share saying that it has already paid the amount to HUDA as external development charge,? he said.
On its part the private developer says it has done everything according to the rulebook. ?We have provided the government all the necessary capital to provide facilities needed by the residents and it is up to them to provide these facilities,? said an Ansal official.
