After unavailability of sand to work,
people in Andhra Pradesh is facing one more problem which affects directly is
Power Cuts. Even we are in rainy season, Power Cuts are inevitable.
Right from the beginning, YS Jagan
has concentrated to review PPAs signed at TDP government. Jagan decision
creates tremble both in India and outside. BJP government and NTPC suggested
Jagan not to review the PPAs. Japan Government wrote letter to Indian
Government against review of PPAs. Finally! High Court squashed government
interference on PPAs and ordered state government to pay pending bills to
Discoms and buy the Power from the Discoms. YSRCP government has agreed not to
review previous PPAs but delay in making payments to Private Discoms. Because
of that reason Discoms implemented power cuts in rural areas for 3 hours in
state.
Union Govt ordered State Government
to issue LOC (Letter Of Credit) 45 days before to Power Generated Companies to purchase
Power. So that Power companies can
convert them into cash. But YSRCP government not followed new rule. AP
Government issued LOC to NTPC and ignored other Private Companies. Power
Exchange has blacklisted AP government for not following the rules properly.
Now, AP government has not allowed purchasing power from other states. AP has sufficient
power in hand but going against to guidelines causes the grim situation. People
in three districts of Northern Andhra are facing 3 hrs power cuts in day and 5
hours on Saturday. Villagers in Kurnool district are raided Sub-stations for irrelevant
power cuts. In rainy season, people are experiencing Power Cuts it is very
difficult to imagine power situation in coming Summer Season.
