Andhra Pradesh is currently reeling from a power crisis. Yes and according to the news coming out, this crisis has arisen due to the shortage of coal in the thermal power station of the state. On the other hand, the officials believe that the sudden increase in demand after COVID-19 has created this problem. At this time, the situation has become such that the state has been forced to regulate electricity. Yes, and it is being said that the situation has become so bad that in many parts of the state, people are facing 4-6 hours of power cuts. On the other hand, opposition parties have opened a front against the government.
According to a report that has surfaced, farmers and citizens protesting against the government are getting upset due to power regulation. On the other hand, the increased rates of electricity have also added to the problems. Let me tell you that the price of electricity in the state has increased by 60 percent. Also 1 in the tariff. Rs 40 per unit (for 76 to 125 units) and 1. have been increased to Rs 57 (from 126 to 220 units). According to former Union Minister Kala Venkata Rao, due to the increase in prices, the burden on the citizens will be 16 thousand 611 crore rupees. At present, the situation in the government hospitals which do not have a power generator is looking worse.
According to a report, this week doctors at Narasipatnam government hospital in Anakpalli district had to deliver with the help of a flashlight of cell phone as electricity was missing in the hospital for about 8 hours. In October last year, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had sought the Centre's intervention in the matter from the Central government and he had sought 20 rakes of coal from the government to meet the demand for electricity. At the same time, the BJP has expressed its displeasure over the state government for blaming the central government's policies for the power crisis.
