Power contractors threaten stir over ‘illegal' connections in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: The Karnataka State Licensed Electrical Contractors Association (KSLECA) urged the state government to immediately restore electricity connections to buildings that had applied before April 4, when a Supreme Court order restricting power supply to properties without approved plans or Occupancy Certificates (OC) came into effect. The association also warned that if their demands are not met, over 20,000 contractors, consumers, farmers, and organizations will stage a massive protest at Freedom Park on August 20 Speaking at a press conference here on Wednesday, C Ramesh, state president, KSLECA, said, 'We demand that while implementing the Supreme Court's December 17, 2024 order, it has to to exempt ongoing and completed building projects from mandatory Occupancy/Completion Certificates if temporary electricity connection is obtained before April 9, 2025.' According to Ramesh, the earlier KERC order of January 13, 2023, allowed electricity connections based on address proof and an approved plan, and was valid until March 13, 2025. He alleged that lakhs of applicants who had paid fees and prepared infrastructure before April 4 are being denied power. Other demands from the association include allowing First-Class contractors to handle operations and maintenance of 66/11 kV and 110/11 kV substations, speeding up connections for loads above 2 MW, ensuring ESCOM-funded compensations for contract labour accidents, and exempting certain agricultural electricity connections from a Rs 15,000 penalty under the Revised Accelerated Electricity Scheme notified on April 15. The association highlighted that despite assurances from the Energy Minister and senior officials after a protest on March 18, there has been no progress on several agreed points. They warned of a massive statewide protest if the issues remain unresolved, involving contractors, consumers, pro-Karnataka activists, farmers, and writers.

Tardeo high-rise residents to vacate illegally occupied flats by Aug 27
MUMBAI: Tensions are running high in Willingdon View Co-operative Housing Society (CHS), a 34-storey tower in south Mumbai's Tardeo, where 27 families must vacate 34 flats spread across the 17th to 34th floors by August 27. Mumbai, India. Aug 08, 2025: View of Willingdon Heights at Tradeo in South Mumbai. The Bombay High Court ordered 27 families living on the upper 18 floors to vacate their flats within three weeks, as these units do not have an Occupancy Certificate (OC). Mumbai, India. Aug 08, 2025. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo) (Raju Shinde) The move follows a Supreme Court order last week declining to interfere with the Bombay high court's directive to evict residents from the upper floors, which have neither an Occupancy Certificate (OC) nor a fire department No Objection Certificate (NOC). By Friday evening, the residents are required to submit undertakings to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) confirming they will vacate by the deadline. Any failure to comply, officials said, will lead to forcible eviction with police assistance and sealing of the premises. 'They must submit their undertaking by Saturday. If they fail to do so, we will begin eviction with the police force on Monday,' said Manish Valanju, assistant commissioner of the BMC's D Ward. On Wednesday, the high court reaffirmed its earlier order and granted three weeks to vacate the upper floors. The Supreme Court had praised the ruling as 'very well considered, bold and lucid' and said, 'At the end of the day, the rule of law must prevail,' while allowing the society to seek more time from the high court to vacate — a plea that was rejected. Lawyers for the society cited the 2013 Campa Cola compound case, where the Supreme Court granted temporary relief to residents of unauthorised floors on humanitarian grounds. The high court dismissed the comparison, stressing that planning regulations and statutory provisions cannot be overridden. 'No court can grant relief contrary to statutory law,' the bench observed, adding that continued occupation of buildings without OC and fire clearances would set a dangerous precedent and compromise public safety. The court also criticised a recurring pattern in Mumbai's real estate sector — where developers and societies exceed permissible limits and later seek protection on humanitarian grounds. Residents, who bought their flats in 2010 for over ₹1 crore each, now face losing homes valued at about ₹5 crore apiece. Each of the affected floors has two 850 sq ft flats. While many residents declined to speak to the media, several confirmed they had already given undertakings to the court and would inform the BMC by Friday.
