CESC officials, who assured to implement seven hours of non-stop power supply to IP sets during daytime and replacement of burnt transformers within stipulated time, said they will forward the other demands pertaining to rules for new electricity connections, smart meters and power tariff hike before the State Government.
Farmers gathered in front of the office of Managing Director of Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) in Mysuru on April 5 to press for their demands, including seven hours of uninterrupted power supply for their irrigation pump sets (IP sets).
Receiving a memorandum from the protesting farmers, CESC Superintending Engineer Sunil Kumar assured the farmers that the corporation will address their demands that come under its purview while bringing other demands to the notice of the government of Karnataka.
Responding to the complaint of farmers that power supply is no more than five hours a day contrary to the government’s assurance, he said the corporation will endeavour to provide seven hours of non-stop power supply to the IP sets of farmers during daytime, as per the decision of the State Government.
With regard to the demand for immediate replacement of burnt transformers, Sunil Kumar assured that the CESC is committed to taking steps for replacement of burnt transformers within a stipulated time frame.
Farmers demanded that the corporation bring back the Akrama-Sakrama scheme for new electricity connections (for farmers) while dropping the rule to recover the charge for a new connection from them.
The farmers demanded that the government drop its move to install smart meters for electricity connections of farmers, and withdraw the hike in power tariff on domestic usage.
CESC officials, who assured to implement seven hours of non-stop power supply to IP sets during daytime and replacement of burnt transformers within stipulated time, said they will forward the other demands pertaining to rules for new electricity connections, smart meters and power tariff hike before the State Government.
