The Tamil Nadu Rice Mill Owners’ Association has submitted a memorandum to the Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development, urging the government to reduce fixed electricity charges and peak hour charges for rice mills.

The association also called for the withdrawal of networking charges and the annual hike in power tariff.
