Karnataka CM to call industrial bodies for discussion on power tariff
In the wake of outrage by certain industrial bodies over hike in electricity tariff rate, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said he would call a meeting with the industrialists for discussions regarding the concerns.
The Chief Minister said the uproar was uncalled for as the electricity bills will come down from next month onwards.
As the Hubballi-based Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) gave a call for bandh on June 22, the Chief Minister said the office-bearers of industrial bodies were invited to clear the doubts.
“To convince them, facts and figures have been given. I hope that they are convinced. Our officials also called them and spoke to them,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
