June 2:  Several government offices in Chitwan district have failed to pay their electricity bills on time. The accrued amount is rising due to the negligence in clearing the dues.

Majority of the government offices have said that they have not been able to pay the electricity bills because of the allocation of very limited budget for running their offices.

Altogether 17 government offices of Chitwan including the District Administration Office, District Coordination Committee, Junior Police Officers Training School,  Narayani Lift Khageri Irrigation Management Division have failed to clear their electricity dues.

The highest amount of dues is that of the street lights, which is internally managed after the concerned ministry releases the amount.

According to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), a total of Rs 306.7 million for the street lights is pending.

According to Suresh Mahato, chief of the district office of NEA, the government offices have ignored their repeated requests to clear the dues.

He said that the electricity office is unable to disconnect the lines of the government offices are they are located in sensitive areas.

“We have written letters to all the government offices in this regard. If they fail to clear the dues within 15 days, we will take necessary action,” said Mahato.
