Minister refutes TRS leaders’ allegation, says common man spared from power cuts in A.P.

Minister for Energy, Forests, and Mines Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy on Friday refuted the allegations of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders that there were power-cuts in Andhra Pradesh.

“Though there are restricted power-cuts to the industrial sector, the common man is not affected,” Mr. Ramachandra Reddy told the media after addressing the district review committee (DRC) meeting here.

Mr. Ramachandra Reddy further said the State government was ready to import coal for power generation and tenders had been called for the same. He also maintained that the agriculture sector was getting 7-hour power supply despite a tough time faced by the shortage as of now.
