Telangana Government Distributes Equipment to Strengthen Agricultural Power Supply
Farmers in the Devarakadra constituency received equipment to help them get electricity for agriculture.
The equipment included transformers, wires, switches and electric poles.
The government approved 800 transformers for the area.
Distribution will happen in three stages across different mandals.
The MLA said more than 1,000 transformers had already been supplied during the first year of the Congress government.
He also said 13 new substations were being developed.
Some electricity interruptions were linked to low rainfall, changing weather and higher demand.
The government said it was working to improve the supply and asked farmers not to believe opposition claims it called false propaganda.
Devarakadra MLA G Madhusudan Reddy distributed transformers and other electrical equipment to farmers in Koukunta.
The government sanctioned 800 transformers for farmers in the Devarakadra constituency, with distribution planned in three phases.
More than 1,000 transformers were reportedly provided during the first year of the Congress government.
The constituency has foundation stones laid for 13 new power substations to strengthen its electricity network.
