Industrialists have resented the diversion of load sanctioned for industrial areas in the state to residential areas. The industrial associations of Una and Kangra districts have written to the Industries Department on the issue of irregular power supply in their respective areas.
Sources say the department has further written to HP State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) on the issue.
The Industries Department deposits money with the Power Department for the installation of transformers whenever a new industrial area comes up. Initially, when there were fewer industries, the power demand was also less.
