The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) passed directives to this effect on September 7 while hearing a case between the state transmission company, Mahatransco, and a Nagpur-based farmer Vikram Setiya.
“Landowners and farmers incurred huge losses because people are often not comfortable with power lines running over their houses.” The tribunal order said that power company, in consultation with the state, can decide on the compensation package.
