The leader of Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly Bhupinder Singh said on Wednesday the State Government’s announcement of stopping of power cuts across the State is nothing but a farce.

Singh said after he read in the newspapers about the stopping of power cuts, he came to know that power cuts are not only still on in Kalahandi, Nuapada, Koraput, Balasore, Mayurbhanj and every other district but the time frame has increased. On Wednesday there was a power cut of one hour in the MLA Colony in the city. The people in Titlagarh after being fed up with the excessive power cuts torched the WESCO office.

Similarly, people of Kalahandi district after being irritated with the frequent power cuts blocked the National Highway 201 on Tuesday night. He further said that there is a feeling that to supply uninterrupted power to the industries the State Government had announced power cuts. He alleged that due to the Government’s inefficiency and incompetence the power distribution companies are ignoring its orders or suggestions.
