CPM faults ally DMK over unannounced power cuts

CHENNAI: The CPM, an alliance partner of the DMK, has highlighted the shortcomings of the DMK government in resolutions adopted during the party’s State Committee meeting held in Pudukkottai recently.

One of the resolutions said except in big cities, people are suffering due to unannounced power cuts. Tangedco is concentrating on purchasing power from private players during peak hours after stopping power generation in State-run thermal power plants. The practice should be avoided and power should be generated in a full-fledged manner in State-owned power plants.
