The gas based power generation plant at Karaikal was functioning without any hindrance in the past. But now the plant was non-functional with the management not being able to purchase the turbine.
Narayanasamy said the hike in power tariff effected frequently was hitting power consumers. Domestic consumers who were levied Rs 300 were now facing a situation of being charged Rs 900 a month. There was also now a move to further hike the tariff, he alleged.
