Will stop cutting power connection of defaulting consumers: Ajit Pawar

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Tuesday said the power connections of domestic and agricultural consumers who have failed to clear their dues would not be cut till the issue is discussed in the Assembly. Mr. Pawar made the statement after Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis raised the issue through an adjournment motion. MLAs of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had earlier staged a protest over the power connections of farmers being disconnected. The BJP leaders claimed that people across the State were very angry over the inflated electricity bills.
