HYDERABAD: A delegation of industrialists from the Jeedimetla industrial area here called on leader of the opposition and Telugu Desam chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday and urged him to bring pressure on the state government for reducing the power cuts to� industries in the state.
They wanted the government to come out with a power policy for the period 2012-17 to enable industries to assess the situation and encourage them to establish units in the state.
According to a press release, Jeedimetla Industries Association's representatives Prasad, Siraj, Adinarayana and Vishnu explained to the TDP president that several industries and their employees were suffering severe losses due to continuous power cuts being imposed by the government. They said the government imposed 61 per cent power cuts in September, October and November, and 45 per cent in December, and apprehended the situation during the summer when more power cuts are anticipated.
"Because of the power cuts, industries are unable to deliver goods in time and, as such, customers are hesitating to give orders to Hyderabad-based companies,'' they said. Naidu promised to take up the issue with the government.
