Uttarakhand Congress has demanded immediate rollback of the hike in the power tariffs. The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Karan Mahara said that the State government has increased the power tariffs many times in the last eight years of its rule. He said the State is yet to come out of the recession due to the pandemic of Covid-19. Unemployment is increasing and the industrial activities are sluggish but the BJP government is continuing to pile miseries upon the people.
Mahara said that Uttarakhand is called power State as it has 25 hydropower projects that are operational while 197 power projects are proposed and the people of the State should get power at a rate of Rs 1.50 per unit.
