Congress MLA Tara Prasad Bahinipati demanded rollback of th hike in electricity tariff in the State Assembly on Tuesday.
Bahinipati said the increase of 30 paise per unit would be a burden on the people, who are already feeling traumatised because of the Covid pandemic.“I don’t know whether the decision has been taken with the Energy Minister’s knowledge, but I urge the Chief Minister to withdraw the hike as no other State has taken such a drastic decision,” Bahinipati stated.
He further added that since the Tata company has taken over power distribution, the people are feeling the pinch of overburden of electricity rate.
