Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Various organizations, including DSS, the Farmers' Union, and Kannada outfits, protested in front of the BESCOM office in Turuvekere on Thursday against improper power supply.
- Protesters demanded four hours of three-phase power supply during the day and three hours at night for pump sets.
- They complained that BESCOM is carrying out daily morning load shedding at a time when school and college exams are approaching, which they said is harming students' academic progress.
- Protesters also demanded that transformers be issued quickly to applicants under the Akrama-Sakrama scheme, old power lines be repaired, and night power cuts under the Nirantara Jyothi scheme be stopped.
- The protest matters because farmers and students in the taluk depend on a reliable electricity supply, and BESCOM officials, including AEE Rajashekar, received the demands directly.
What to watch next
- Whether BESCOM announces changes to load-shedding timings in Turuvekere taluk.
- Any BESCOM action on pending transformer applications under the Akrama-Sakrama scheme.
- Steps taken to repair old power lines and end night cuts under Nirantara Jyothi.
