PATNA: Chief minister’s official residence, 1 Anne Marg, will no longer depend on power supply fromBihar State Electricity Board (BSEB). This sprawling building and the adjacent house, which is being converted into the CM’s residential office, will have their own system for lighting.
“I am soon going to introduce solar power system here,” Nitish told media people on the sidelines of ‘Janata Ke Durbar Mein Mukhyamantri’ programme on Monday. “Not only the lights and fans but even the air conditioners and pumping sets will run on this system,” he said.
The CM said he was fighting for Bihar’s cause with the Centre, but without much success as the authorities sitting in Delhi were not in a mood to address the genuine demands of the state. “I know people take solar energy as a joke but I will strictly implement it here,” said Nitish, who appears quite impressed with the green cover of Bhutan. He also appealed to people to help preserve the environment. He plans to develop his Anne Marg residence into a greenhouse.
