Farmers across Siddipet constituency staged protests on Saturday against unscheduled power cuts and poor-quality supply. Demonstrations included rasta roko blockades and locking up a sub-station operator, with villagers demanding uninterrupted 24-hour power for agriculture.
Farmers staged protests at several locations across Siddipet district on Friday over unscheduled power cuts. They demanded 24-hour supply, alleging their crops were drying up. Protests included dharnas, road blockades and burning of an effigy of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy
“It really feels like I am back in my pre-2015 phase. Under the previous government, it was very rare that we saw power cuts. Even when it happened, it was either scheduled or power was back in matter of few minutes,” said T Keerthi, a software employee.
