Tamil Nadu Foodgrains Merchants Association (TFMA) has offered suggestions for the proper distribution of electricity till the power crisis in the State is rectified. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, the association thanked the Government for the constitution of a 10-member monitoring committee to monitor equitable distribution of available electricity in the State.
It suggested power holidays for 2 days, including Sundays, may be implemented in all industries; during night time, alternate street lights must be made to burn; commercial establishments who consume more than 500 units of electricity may be ordered to reduce their consumption by 25 per cent; factories producing electricity needed for them by using generator may be given exemption of VAT and given subsidy; offer subsidies and long-term loans to encourage the setting up of solar lights; all commercial establishments to be asked to switch off power to all lightings after 10 p.m. with the exception of a few; buy electricity from other States; and, desisit from enforcing power cut during night time in residential areas.
