  "account": "Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy vented his frustration over recurring power outages in various parts of the state, which are causing inconvenience to farmers. During a meeting with senior officials on Wednesday, the Chief Minister expressed his anger, stating that instructions to prevent power supply issues have been issued multiple times, but the situation remains unchanged. He questioned officials about the lack of measures to increase power generation despite the availability of coal from Naini, Mahanadi and other sources. The Chief Minister warned officials against negligence, predicting that the government would not hesitate to suspend them, including top officials of the Energy department, if they are found guilty of dereliction of duties. He emphasized that the upcoming 20 days are crucial for agriculture, and steps must be taken to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the farm sector. Reddy compared the El Nino phenomenon to the Covid-19 pandemic, urging officials to be prepared to cater to the sector's needs. He called for the preparation of action plans to manage the situation until June and suggested deputing special officers from Group I and II cadre to each mandal for constant supervision. He also stressed the importance of ensuring no shortage of fodder.",
