RK Singh reads the riot act to Tata Power on blackout bogey
NEW DELHI: Power minister R K Singh on Sunday read the riot act to Tata Power and his Delhi counterpart Satyendar Jain for raising the bogey of imminent load-sheddings citing coal shortage at power plants and warned the Capital’s discoms (distribution companies) of strict action if they ration electricity supply.
“I’ve warned Tata Power CEO of action if they send baseless SMS to customers that can create panic. Such messages qualify as acts of irresponsible behaviour…. Neither there was, nor there is, any crisis. It was created unnecessarily,” he said after meeting executives of Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (TPDDL), Reliance Infrastructure discoms BRPL and BYPL as well as Delhi power department officials at his residence.
