Medak: Protesting against unscheduled power cuts, farmers from the Ramayampet area staged a protest on the main road of Ramayampet town near the sub-station on Saturday.

The farmers urged the government to ensure at least 12 hours of power supply to the farming sector, saying they would otherwise be unable to save their crops.

The farmers relented after the police persuaded them to withdraw the protest, assuring them that the issue would be brought to the notice of Transco officials.
