Amid power crisis in the state, Karnataka Energy Minister K J George on Thursday said there is no load shedding in the state and the government is making efforts to purchase power from other states to fulfill the demand.
George, who was here to attend the Congress Central Election Committee Meeting, said there is power shortage in the state due to poor monsoon and as a result daily electricity generation has been lower by 30-40 million units (MU) than the estimated daily demand of 270-280 MU.
“There is no load shedding in the state. We are purchasing power from different states to meet the shortage,” he told reporters.
