Power shortage worsening, the Chamundeswari Electricity Supply Company (Chescom) has now turned to the consumers in Mysore with a call to save electricity. Chescom made this appeal in the background of the need to improve power supply to students, who are affected badly from preparing for their approaching annual examinations, and to industries to maintain their wheels moving.
In an appeal to the public, Chescom called on consumers to cut down power consumption wherever possible. The company’s officials have suggested using minimum number of lights in places of electrical installations, use of less power consuming CLF lamps, use power-efficient pumps, and keep open windows to allow natural light to enter in instead of using electricity.
“One unit saved is two units generated,” Chescom said in a release and a unit thus saved would help in accumulating power to meet the requirements of the much-hit student community. It could also help improving power supply to other hard hit sections in Mysore, the officials said.
