Amidst the power crisis in the state, the government has decided to ensure seven hours of uninterrupted power supply to farmers.
Earlier, the government had declared that it was in a position to provide power to farmers only for five hours.
“Earlier we had planned to provide seven hours of uninterrupted power supply to farmers. However, a few of them were of the opinion that five hours would suffice. Now, since sugarcane and many crops have come to harvest, the demand for power has increased,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
