Rajya Sabha member T. Subbarami Reddy has appealed to
Union Minister for Power Sushil Kumar Shinde to ask Central Electricity
Authority (CEA) to consider releasing 500 MW for Visakhapatnam region to
overcome power crisis faced by local industries.
In a
letter to Mr. Shinde, Mr. Reddy, who is the chairman of Parliamentary
Standing Committee on Forest and Environment, said the imposition of
power holiday and long hours of power cuts were forcing several small
scale units and major industries to curtail their production. Even
agriculture operation had suffered badly, he stated.
He
said 500 MW should be released through APEPDCL so that the industries
function normally and contribute to national economy substantially.
