Lucknow, March 5 -- The residents of Sushant Golf City township on Sultanpur Road have an option to apply for multi-point power connections, provided that at least 51% of the residents apply for them, officials said. The township has around 5,500 houses.

Ansal, the developer, has provided prepaid electricity meters to all residents, requiring them to recharge the meters in advance for electricity consumption. Despite this, Ansal had an outstanding payment of approximately Rs.4.28 crore, which led to LESA disconnecting the electricity supply on Friday.

As a result, around 25,000 residents faced a four-hour power outage. Later, Ansal deposited Rs.50 lakh to restore the power supply.
