Vadodara Municipal Corporation asks city police to clear pending gas bills of personnel
VADODARA: Vadodara Municipal Corporation
(VMC) has written to the city police asking them to ensure that pending
dues towards gas bills for connections given to personnel at their
residential quarters are cleared. The dues have been accumulating over a
period of time and have now reached around Rs 36 lakh.
The VMC provides gas connections in the city through its gas project. The connections have also been provided to the quarters of police personnel commonly referred to as police lines.
The VMC has been unable to recover its bills from the residents of these quarters as the last bill usually remains unpaid when the resident is transferred or shifts to another location. In the past too the civic body has written regarding this to the city police.
The unpaid gas bills pertain to Navbharat, Akota, City and Fatehpura police lines. The bills add up to Rs 35,99,302. Last year too, the civic body had written to city police regarding the issue.
When contacted, a senior police official said, "We are yet to receive the letter. We will look into the issue."
