The CPI(M) held a demonstration in Chennai urging the State government to withdraw the hike in power tariff.Addressing the cadres, the party's South Chennai district unit secretary, K. Bheem Rao, said the hike would severely affect those who were living in rented houses.
“The owners of the houses are charging more than the normal amount for electricity from the tenants. Now they will further increase the charge,” he said.
Thermal power projects
Mr. Rao said the government should take steps to achieve the full potential of the thermal power projects instead of providing subsidies to private players in the power sector.
District secretariat committee members A. Packiam, T.A. Latha and Nandagopal were among those who participated in the protest.
