PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Thursday alleged that people in various districts in the State suffered power cuts on Wednesday night and urged the government to take preventive measures.
In a Twitter post, he pointed out that there were power cuts for a few hours in certain districts and for six hours in parts of Tiruvarur district. Because of unscheduled power cuts, people, including students preparing for exams and farmers, suffered.
“The State Electricity Minister has cited non-availability of 750 MW of power from Central generating stations as the reason for the cuts. This might be true. But, it is the job of the electricity board to be prepared for such unexpected events and ensure uninterrupted power supply,” he said.
