Farmers across the state, especially those dependent on pump sets for irrigating their fields, are up in arms against the government and power distribution companies. Power disruption has come as a blow to them who have already been facing problems due to uneven rainfall.
Farmers across the state complain that for the last 15 days, the duration of three-phase power supply has come down from the regular seven hours to three hours and in some places even half an hour.
A majority of farmers say that the government, through erratic supply of three-phase power for pump sets and borewells, is snatching away their only chance of saving the standing crops.
