A Standing Committee of the State Assembly under the chairmanship of Bhograi MlA Ananta Das had a review meeting here on Saturday with regard to the matters of revenue, disaster management, excise and energy in Baleswar district.
The committee expressed severe displeasure over the Nesco’s performance in supplying electricity to rural pockets under various schemes.
Bhandaripokhari MlA Prafulla Samal and Rajnagar MlA Alekh Jena were the two other members of the committee, which wanted to know the exact number of the villages still to be electrified. The department failed to provide a satisfactory reply and figures, which irked the committee.
The Nesco was directed to submit the correct figures about electrification within a month.
The committee also stressed on identification of the State’s border with the neighbouring West Bengal by holding a meeting with the officials of West Bengal.
