#Loadshedding is a forgotten term: Mamata Banerjee
Kolkata, June 12 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said the people of her state are experiencing uninterrupted power supply.
She said “loadshedding” (power cut) is now a forgotten term in the east Indian state.
 
"During the present scorching summer heat, many, many parts of the country continue to suffer for long stretches of 'loadshedding'. But in Bengal, 'loadshedding' is now a forgotten term. Due to rapid improvement in efficiency of our State power sector, people of Bengal are now getting 24x7 power supply," Banerjee said in a Facebook post.
 
She said her state was in a position to provide power on demand.
 
"Bengal now is in a position to provide power on demand. We have introduced banking of power to suitably utilize the surplus power after our own requirements are fulfilled.We are committed to the people of Bengal and do our best for them," the CM said.
 
Banerjee made the remarks at a time when Delhi and some other regions of the country are suffering from the trouble of power cuts.
