Power consumers have opposed the Hubli Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM) move to approach the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) seeking a hike in power tariff for 2018-19. At a public hearing meeting chaired by KERC Chairman Shambhu Dayal Meena here on Thursday, stakeholders in Hubballi-Dharwad, Gadag, Belagavi, Kumta and other parts too aired their grievances and requested KERC not to give approval to the proposal to hike power tariff.
