Taking exception to what they termed indiscriminate hike in power tariff, scores of small scale industrialists staged a symbolic protest under the aegis of North Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association (NKSSIA) in Hubballi and Dharwad on Thursday and submitted memoranda to the authorities concerned.
They first staged a peaceful protest in front of the office of Hubballi Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM) in Hubballi and submitted a memorandum to the Managing Director of HESCOM Mohammad Roshan. Mr. Roshan interacted with the members of NKSSIA and assured them of resolving the issues.
The small scale industrialists subsequently proceeded to the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Dharwad, where after a symbolic protest, they submitted memorandum on their grievances and demands to the authorities.
