Monday Mirchi : CMD powers TSSPDCL

“Authority flows downwards; and responsibility, upwards” is one of the cardinal principles in management. Few take it seriously in letter and spirit. With both the ruling and opposition parties plugging into the power sector to trade shocking charges amid a slew of probes, Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited Chairman and Managing Director Musharraf Faruqui himself is handling any complaint related to ‘power cuts’, especially those made by high-profile individuals. With the Opposition making allegations after allegations of power cut (ex-CM K Chandrasekhar Rao in fact joined ‘X’ on Saturday with a bang by posting on ‘power cut’); no wonder, there is always a response within a couple of hours. To ensure that the department does not get a bad name due to mud-slinging or even minor instance of mismanagement, Musharraf is literally on top of the issues. He keeps tabs even at the level of DTRs with appropriate staff. Whispers in the corridors of power are that he is literally battling the Opposition more than the Minister heading the energy department.
