Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has urged the Central government for allocation of 400 Mw of additional power for Haryana from the unallocated pool of Central generation.
While stating this here today, a spokesman of Haryana Power Utilities said that in response to this request, the Central government had allocated only 100 Mw of additional power for Haryana.
Out of this 100 Mw, the actual power coming to Haryana is only 40 Mw. In order to ensure supply of maximum power to the farmers, the Chief Minister has again taken up the matter with the Union Minister of Power, Sushil Kumar Shinde on August 1, 2009, informing him that the monsoon situation in the state is grim.
