The Tahliwal Industrial Association of Una district has written to the Managing Director of Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Ltd (HPSEBL) against the unscheduled power cuts in the area.
Industrialists alleged that the power cuts were causing losses to the industry. Chairman of the association Rakesh Kaushal said, “We have requested MD, HPSEBL, Pankaj Dadwal to make scheduled power cuts in their area on Sunday,” he said.
The association also expressed concern over a delay in providing power to many new industrial units despite the fact that they had deposited the amount sought by the HPSEBL. The board was imposing charges on private units for laying high tension power lines and transformers.
