Small industry players stage protests in Karnataka over power tariff hike
Traders and small industry owners took out protest rallies in several parts of Karnataka on Thursday opposing the recent power tariff hike.
Following a call for a ‘bandh’ given by Hubballi-based Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), industrialists and small traders participated in a protest march in big numbers.
Their protests came at a time when the state government started the registration process earlier this week for the ‘Gruha Jyoti’ scheme offering up to 200 units of free electricity for residential connections.
