BANGALORE: As the coalition partners are yet to take a decision on the ways and means of handling the power shortage, Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (KPTCL) is continuing unscheduled loadshedding in rural areas as and when the power consumption goes up beyond the availability.

According to sources in KPTCL, unscheduled loadshedding was enforced even on Thursday evening as the power consumption suddenly touched 124.7 million units.

The power consumption was brought down only after a two-hour loadshedding during the peak time between 6.15 p.m. and 8.15 p.m., sources told The Hindu.
