ACs may generate heat for illegal users this summer

New Delhi, Mar 8 (UNI) Residents of government houses in the capital enjoying the cool of air conditoners may soon face the heat as the authorities will crack down on those using the device without sanctioned loads.

Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy told the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour today that the government would take action against illegal connections.

''It is fraught with danger,'' said the Minister.

He said though a very small number of government houses had installed air conditioners, even those were without the sanctioned load.

Before sanctioning the load, the equipment needed upgradation and power supply enhanced, he said.

He, however, said no survey of the houses has been made.
