Farm sector will get 24-hour power supply from today

The Telangana State Government has decided to supply 24-hour quality and uninterrupted power on an experimental basis in the entire state to agriculture from Monday on wards.

Already 24-hour quality power is being supplied on an experimental basis in the old three districts. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has ordered that all the districts should get free and quality power 24-hours for agriculture from march-April 2018 and accordingly the Electricity organisations have been making arrangements in this regard for the past one year. Now these arrangements have come to the final stages. 

Measures are ready to give 24-hour power supply to the farm



sector from March-April 2018.

For the supply of free and quality power to farmers, the Chief Minister held a discussion with TS Genco CMD D Prabhakar Rao on Sunday. He instructed that all the arrangements for distribution and supply systems should be in place for 24-hour power to farmers by March-April 2018. 

CMD Prabhakar Rao said that on an experimental basis 24-hour power supply would be given from Monday night for 5 or 6 days all over the state for the farm sector. The CMD suggested that based on the feedback after supplying the 24-hour power, follow up actions will be taken. For this the CM gave his consent.
