Issuing a zero-tolerance directive on rural energy distribution, the minister declared that power corporations must ensure completely uninterrupted electricity supply between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM across all rural belts, prohibiting scheduled or unscheduled load-shedding during peak evening hours while guaranteeing a baseline 10 hours of daily agricultural power for farmers.
