With the end of the two days’ time given to pay due bills, Siddharth Colony in Chembur went dark from 7 am on Tuesday morning as Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited disconnected power supply to the area. However, power supply was restored at 6 pm amid meetings between protesters and police.

A delegation of residents met DCP (Zone VI) Krishnakant Upadhyay on Tuesday evening. “We demanded that Adani Electricity officials be booked under Prevention of Atrocities Act for consistently harassing residents despite paying outstanding amounts as per their financial condition,” said Lahu Kamble, member of Siddharth Colony Ghar Hakka Sangharsh Samiti. The DCP has reportedly asked them to register a complaint with Chembur police.
