Taking serious note of complaints about irregular supply of electricity in rural areas, energy minister Shrikant Sharma on Monday directed the UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) chairman to ensure uninterrupted supply of power to villages from the sunset to the sunrise.
Reviewing a meeting at Shakti Bhawan here, Sharma said that he had been getting a lot of complaints about power cuts in rural areas and asked officials to give top priority to resolving consumers’ grievances.
“Use social media to inform people about emergency load shedding at the local level,” he suggested.
Stressing the need for supply of electricity as per the roster, the minister asked the UPPCL chairman to see it that villages got uninterrupted power between sunset and sunrise unless there was an emergency requiring load shedding.
