AMARAVATI: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has directed the state electricity department authorities to write letters to the farmers on agricultural meters to dispel any misgivings in this regard.
He asked them to assure the farmers that there would be no burden on the farmers. The chief minister wants the officials to explain to the farmers that the entire bill would be paid by the state government itself. Officials should educate the farmers about the pilot project taken up in Srikakulam and the positive results it yielded besides the idea of saving 33.75 million units of electricity.
Meanwhile, the chief minister asked the officials to ensure the availability of adequate coal reserves at the thermal stations and also enhance the coal supply as per the signed agreements. He said that appropriate measures should be taken for better coal production at the Suliyari Coal mine operated by APMDC.
YS Jagan also directed the authorities to grant pump set connections and replace the transformers immediately.
