This city in central Maharashtra, earmarked for development as a smart town, is in dark for the last three days after the electricity-supplying company snapped connection to street lights over non-payment of Rs 25-crore dues by the local civic body.
Sources in state-run power firm MSEDCL said unless the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) pays the pending Rs 25- crore bill, electricity supply to street lights would not be restored.
Aurangabad, the most important city in Marathwada region of the State, has been included in the Centre's Smart City project.
The move by MSEDCL has caused hardship to the local residents and leaders have expressed anger.
