CUTTACK: Protesting frequent power
cut in the State, members and supporters of the All India Democratic Youth
Organisation (AIDYO) staged demonstration in front of the Central Electricity
Supply Utility of Odisha (CESU) office here on Monday. Later the members of the
AIDYO handed over a memorandum to the Energy Minister Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak
demanding solution to the problems.
The AIDYO members demanded that
the Government should stop privatisation of power sector, rollback the decision
of hike in power tariff, stop frequent power cut and collect right fee by
fixing proper electricity meter in the households.
The members said the State
Government had accepted privatisation in power sector by advocating development
of the State and to check corruption in different official levels, but is
proved wrong for the State. Problems are increasing day by day due to
privatisation in power sector, they added.
The members said that without
solving low voltage crisis, frequent power cut, proper connection to the
households and avoiding corruption in the field of power generation and
distribution, the companies have started hiking in power tariff.
Among others, AIDYO district
secretary Sasmita Mohanty, secretary Deepak Das and State secretary Rajendra Burma
took the lead of the demonstration.
