“By doing so, continuous power supply is ensured,” Energy Secretary N. Srikant said in a review meeting on Friday.

However, this time too, the party failed to win a legislature seat. At the same time, the Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI), backed by the United Democratic Front , opened its account in the Assembly by winning the Vadakara seat.
