Electricity consumers on Monday raised a slew of objections to the proposals made by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) for hiking power tariffs in the State.
At the fourth and final public hearing organised by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission here, domestic and industrial category consumers termed the proposals unjustifiable and, in certain aspects, unsound.
The Federation of Residents Associations Kerala staged a protest outside the venue of the hearing against the tariff proposals, urging the commission not to approve the hike. Association representatives pointed out the mounting power bill arrears of the KSEB (as per the latest figures, ₹3,260.09 crore).
