He was addressing a meeting in Yadgir on Thursday.
Mr. Darshanapur said that farmers and the general public in rural areas are facing trouble due to shortage of power supply. Therefore, officials should take proper initiatives and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
“When you are able to supply uninterrupted power to industries, why are you failing to supply power for seven hours in rural areas?” he asked and directed the officials concerned to take immediate action without giving any reasons to shirk responsibility.
The Minister also asked them to change dysfunctional transformers immediately and inform the respective MLAs about the action taken. He highlighted the inability of the officers in not attending to problems, particularly dysfunctional transformers, and said that this has happened despite the district having three transformer repair centres.
