A demonstration by farmers here in Rajasthan demanding seven hours of uninterrupted electricity supply and power connections entered its fifth day on Monday, with three rounds of talks between them and Discom officials on the issues remaining inconclusive.
The farmers’ ‘mahapadav’ at the Jodhpur power distribution company (Discom) began on Thursday.
Besides seven hours uninterrupted power supply for agriculture and immediately issuing transformers to farmers who have deposited money for electricity connections, a demand for reserve stock of five transformers in every division to expedite replacement of the burnt transformers has also been put forth, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh’s Rajasthan secretary Tulcha Ram Sinwar said.
