Bhatti 'Ensure Uninterrupted Power Supply in Summer'

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Thursday said that the government’s primary objective is to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the public without causing any inconvenience, despite the rising electricity demand due to intense summer heat in the state.

In view of the increasing power demand across the country, the Deputy Chief Minister conducted a review meeting with senior officials of the Energy department at Praja Bhavan on the state’s power supply



situation.

Officials informed the minister that along with soaring temperatures, the usage of air conditioners and coolers in homes and offices has increased significantly. 

This, combined with agricultural requirements, has put additional pressure on the power grid. Despite the nationwide stress on the electricity market, the Deputy Chief Minister directed officials to procure additional power through power exchanges to ensure there is no shortage for the state’s needs.
