State Congress president Nairanjan Patnaik thanked the people for registering their protest.
The power tariff was raised by 20 paise per unit in October, and a further hike of 30 paise per unit in April has affected the common people, leaving them helpless amid the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic, Patnaik said, news agency PTI reported.
