Mangaolore, August 21: Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Saturday said steps to mitigate the burden on the power consumer on the imminent hike in power tariff only after hike is announced.


Talking to reporters, Mr. Gowda said there would definitely be a hike in the power tariff due to increase in the input costs. "The KERC (Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission) is an independent body, we cannot interfere in it. We will take decision (reducing the burden on consumers) on the basis of what will be the quantum of hike," he said


Mr. Gowda said he had already reviewed the works in the power sector on Friday. "In light of likely hike in power tariff, I need to have further discussions at various levels and take steps to reduce the burden on common man," he said
