OPS comes out strongly against power tariff hike in TN

Date:

Chennai, Sep 12: Estranged AIADMK leader and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on Sunday attacked the state government’s decision to hike power tariff rates.

In a statement, he condemned the DMK government for the increase in tariff rates for domestic consumers and demanded an immediate rollback of the rates. Seeking to remind the DMK of its 2021 Assembly poll promise that it would increase the free electricity to handloom workers by 300 units and by 1,000 units for power loom units, Panneerselvam said that he had opposed this “anti-people law” of the DMK government when it was mooted in the Assembly in July.

He also said that the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission’s announcement to people to give up the free 100 units of power was a “major shocker”, and that private schools and private hostels would pass on the hiked charge to the public.
