Power cut imposed across Andhra Pradesh

HYDERABAD: An unexpected heavy power shortage has forced the AP Transco to implement an undeclared supply cut for four hours daily from Sunday in all cities and towns and for two hours for industries.

The rural areas were already facing more than a six-hour cut in power supply for the past few days. However, the agriculture sector has been spared with Transco deciding to continue the seven-hour supply to the estimated 28 lakh pumpsets in the State in two spells daily, to facilitate sowing operations. The four distribution companies i have been asked to restrict the outflow of electricity from the grid by resorting to load-shedding wherever possible.
