Chennai: In the wake of worsening power situation in the state, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday appointed a panel headed by Electricity Minister Natham R Viswanathan to submit weekly report to her on the power situation.
A detailed review meeting chaired by the Chief Minister also discussed ways to bridge power shortage and expedite the on-going power generation efforts, an official release in Chennai said.
The nine-member panel will have Municipal Administration Minister KP Munusamy, Chief Secretary Debendranath Sarangi and TNEB Chairman K Gnanadesikan among others as members.
"The panel will meet every Monday to review the power situation in the state and submit report to the Chief Minister," it added.
The Jayalalithaa-led government had been facing flak on the power front in the wake of the widening demand-supply gap ranging up to around 4000 mw.
Besides the scheduled load-shedding in Chennai and elsewhere, reports claim of power cuts running into hours, drawing criticism from people and political parties alike.
