Madurai, Aug. 6 While welcoming the relaxation in the restriction of peak hour use of electricity by industrial consumers, announced by Tamilnadu Electricity Board (TNEB), the small and tiny industries here have made an appeal for relaxation of power holiday.

Mr N. Somasundaram, Vice-President, Madurai District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association (Maditssia), said in a press note, that for the last few months the productivity of small industries remained paralysed due to the power cut daily between 6 pm and 10 pm and the weekly power holiday declared on Friday.

A representation was made by small industry associations led by Maditssia, demanding uninterrupted power supply on July 31. Heeding to the request TNEB has immediately relaxed the restriction on peak hour use by industrial consumers.

With the reported improvement in the generation of power from wind mills, it is hoped that the situation would be further eased to enable normal productivity with relaxation of power holiday announced by the Government on Friday, he said.
