Centre to be urged to double power allocation to Karnataka

Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: Karnataka is facing a 700 MW power shortage on account of a weak south-west monsoon and depletion of water-level in its hydel reservoirs.

To tackle the power crisis, the State has decided to take various steps, including cloud seeding and purchasing more power from the Central grid and private power generators. The rainfall is deficient in 124 out of the 175 taluks of the State.

The State Cabinet, which met here on Thursday, decided to ask the Union government to double its allocation from the southern power grid from the present 15 per cent share.
