The MeECL on Sunday informed that a total of seven-hour daily load-shedding would take place across the State.

The MeECL owes Rs 74.65 crore to Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) as transmission charges, and it was not in a position to pay the dues due to extreme financial condition of the company.
