Delhi CM Rekha Gupta resolves 2018 power issue, 36 Harsh Vihar families get electricity relief
New Delhi, May 24
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has resolved a long-pending electricity issue affecting several families in Harsh Vihar A-3, bringing relief to residents who had been waiting for power connections since 2018.
According to the Chief Minister's Office (CMO)'s statement, CM Rekha Gupta met members of 36 families during a Jan Sunwai and took immediate cognisance of their grievances regarding delayed electricity connections.
The families informed the Chief Minister that they had been awaiting electricity connections for several years.
Following their interaction, swift administrative action was initiated and officials were directed to resolve the matter on priority.
"Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta today met members of 36 families from Harsh Vihar A-3 who had waited for electricity connections for years. During Jan Sunwai, the families informed the Chief Minister that they had been awaiting electricity connections since 2018. Immediate directions were issued, and in mission mode, a transformer has been installed and new electricity connections are now being provided, bringing long-awaited relief to the families," the CMO said in a statement.
The development comes amid a series of infrastructure and environmental initiatives announced by the Delhi government under the leadership of the Chief Minister.
CM Gupta on Sunday approved mega projects worth over Rs 1,000 crore under 'Mission Yamuna', aimed at cleaning the Najafgarh Drain, upgrading sewage treatment plants, and improving water management across the capital, according to the CMO.
Earlier, the Chief Minister, along with Cabinet Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and MLA Harish Khurana, inspected air purification technologies in Delhi, including filterless air purifiers, EV-mounted anti-smog guns, and pollution control devices deployed at key locations.
"Delhi's battle against pollution continues unabated. This is not just a seasonal effort, but a campaign running 365 days a year for clean air and better public health," CM Gupta said, highlighting systems that treat PM2.5, PM10 and other pollutants and aim to create cleaner air corridors in the city.

Good step but why did it take 7 years for this to get resolved? The previous government must answer for such negligence. At least this CM is listening to people directly through Jan Sunwai - that's a positive change. 👏
This is what we need - practical solutions, not just announcements. Transformer installed, connections given in mission mode. Now let's see similar urgency for Yamuna cleaning and pollution control. Delhi can't wait another 7 years for clean air and water.
Happy for those 36 families! 🙌 But this also shows how many more such cases remain unresolved across Delhi. One Jan Sunwai can't fix systemic issues. Need a proper helpline and timeline for all pending electricity connections. Hope the CM scales this up.
A small but meaningful step. The real test will be whether such swift action becomes the norm, not just a one-off. Also good to see focus on pollution with those anti-smog guns - hope the 365-day campaign actually delivers results this time.
