Load shedding is necessary as there are problems with the power production.

Belgaum is getting about 90 MW where it actually needs 120 MW.

Power is cut at any time and the entire timings come up to 6 to 8 hours.

The Small Scale industries association did a Rata Roko and blocked the road for a while in protest of this erratic power supply by HESCOM.

Industrialists complained that due to this erratic power supply all their manufacturing plans have been hit and many complained of more losses in production than normal due to sudden power cuts.

The people whom we elected for our welfare are busy for their welfare, who cares for the common man.
