HYDERABAD: A day after Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy threatened to sack Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC) chairman Tanneeru Sriranga Rao, the commission issued a press statement stating that it functions as per the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003 and discharging its duties fearlessly, without any bias, with utmost integrity, honesty and devotion to work.
“It is unfortunate that recently certain video clippings went viral making certain allegations against TSERC and its chairman, with regard to the commission’s orders on extending free electricity under Gruha Jyothi scheme, up to 200 units per month for eligible domestic households by issuing zero bill and with regard to free power to the agriculture sector in the state,” the ERC statement said.
