Thanjavur Power Cuts - 16-02-2012

(Arulananda Nagar) 16-02-2012

Here is data for "Arulananda Nagar" where the cuts exceeded the originally announced 8:00hrs by 1:30hrs.

Instead of the usual 5 power cuts, which they had tried to tone down to, we have 7 power cuts today.

This will cost industry and affect all day-to-day activities severely.

Part of this crisis is fueled by the refusal of the state government to source the necessary fuel (coal and lignite) on their part to ensure electricity generation for the fuel. Sources speculate that earlier suppliers strongly linked to the DMK party are not prepared to deal with the state government.
