: Cadres of the CPM, led by secretariat member Ch. Babu Rao, staged a dharna protest at Dharna Chowk, demanding that the state government roll back its decision to collect Rs 6,073 crore in Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) charges from domestic power consumers. The AP Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) granted permission for state-owned utilities—APCPDCL, APSPDCL, and APEPDCL—to impose these charges for power consumed during the 2022-23 financial year.
