AGARTALA, June 7 (TIWN): Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath again slammed the consumers for load-shedding and power-cuts, saying these happen because of consumers’ misuses of the electricity. ‘Do not use unnecessary Electricity because I don’t know when Rain will Occur’, added Ratan Lal Nath. He further explained how over-load can cause transformer issues. ‘We have a call center. People continue to call there but actually power-cut happens due to people’s mistakes when they do not use electricity properly. Call at 1912 and you will come to know everything’, said Nath.

‘Many bring false complaints that call center does not reply but it’s false. I myself tested. They receive call but you have to hold the call for a long time if they do not respond immediately. Don’t lose patience. There are constant employees’, said Nath.

Earlier, Ratan Lal Nath asked AC users to use two-phased lines to avoid transformer bursts.

‘Patience’s results are good and that’s why to keep patience when you call at 1912’, said Nath.

However, it will not be wrong to mention that no other state’s Power Minister blames consumers like this for power-cut and load-shedding like Tripura Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath is doing by dumping his own failures on the public.
