Bangalore: Tamil Nadu is not "proprietor" of Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) and
power supply from there to Karnataka, as demanded by film personalities in that
state, cannot be stopped, Chief Minister S M Krishna said on October 11.
"On the power front, none need to be anxious. Power supply from nowhere will be
stopped," Krishna told reporters at Gajjalagere in Mandya district when asked about
Tamil film personalities taking out a rally on October 11 to Neyveli to demand
stoppage of power.
"There is a wrong perception that Tamil Nadu is proprietors of Neyveli Lignite
Corporation. This is incorrect information. It is a power generating unit belonging
to the
Central government. So, let there be no fear on that front," the Chief Minister
added.
