Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Nirupam began an indefinite hunger strike to demand reduction in power tariff in Mumbai. Nirupam and his followers are holding a protest outside the office of the Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Energy, stating that Reliance Energy is accountable to the people of the city who are reeling under the high power tariff.
'Reliance supplies electricity to a majority of people here. Today, if people in Mumbai are suffering due to the power tariff, Reliance is also answerable for that.' he said. They asked Reliance to take back a few useless surcharges included in the electricity bill. He demanded that Reliance Power should remove the three surcharges and share the subsidy burden with the Maharashtra Government so as to give relief to the people of Mumbai. This protest will continue until Anil Ambani removes the three types of surcharges from the bill.
Earlier on Monday, the Maharashtra Government announced a 20 percent cut in power tariff for the industrial and agriculture classes of consumers. However, this decision excluded Mumbai consumers who mostly get power supply from Reliance Infrastructure among others.
