Govt departments should clear their power bills

It is really shocking to learn that the various government departments and offices are not paying their power bills to the electricity department. Figures show lakhs of rupees pending in form of payments from the government departments.  The government of Goa always says that people are not paying the electricity bills on time and goes to cut their power supply but forgets to cut the power supply of their own department and government department and offices who are not paying their bills for years. It is known that even factories and hotel industry doesn't pay the bills for years and the government of Goa is not taking any action on them but takes immediate action on the common man who lives in a small house along with their families. They are always behind the people of Goa to increase the amount rates high all the time and to loot the people who voted them.   I request the CM, Electricity department and Minister to quickly recover the pending bills from various government departments and offices in Goa and also the from businesses, factories and hotel industry.
