increased debt of government quarters
In the list of arrears of water supply department, the highest arrears are of PWD quarters. The dues of many quarters are more than Rs 25 to 30 thousand. The reason behind this is that as soon as the officers are transferred, they vacate their quarters and go to other districts without taking NOC. In the list of arrears of the water supply department, there are only about 300 defaulters from government quarters. After this, the second number are the houses of Housing Board, in which the old bills are getting erased with the change of owner.
