‘Pending maintenance of infrastructure being taken up’
AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami questioned the ruling DMK in the Assembly over the frequent power cuts and the reopening of State-run liquor shops even when the State was hit by COVID-19. Referring to the power cuts in various parts of the State, Mr. Palaniswami said there was a difference between planned and announced power cuts and otherwise. He also questioned why the State government was purchasing power from private players at a higher rate. Responding to the issues raised, Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji said that the erstwhile AIADMK government had not undertaken the maintenance of electric infrastructure for several months and under the instruction of the Chief Minister, maintenance was being undertaken now.
