Holding a meeting with discom managing directors (MDs) here, he told them to remain vigilant keeping a regular watch on the power supply in the state in view of adverse weather. He said all efforts should be made to provide electricity to consumers as per the schedule.

Devraj further asked officials to intensify the revenue realisation drive considering the current financial year was coming to end. “All need to work on a war footing to achieve the revenue targets,” he said.

He also laid emphasis on the need for providing correct bills to consumers on time. He said billing agencies should be warned in this regard. Revieing the power generation, he said production in all the thermal plants was normal.
