Amin said people across Udupi district have been facing frequent power cuts, low voltage, an inadequate number of transformers and poor maintenance. He also cited a shortage of MESCOM staff. The protest will demand that the state government address these issues immediately and ensure a reliable electricity supply to the district. In a statement, Amin urged party leaders, workers and members of the public to take part in the march.
