‘Why there is a shortage when the country has fourth largest reserves in the country?’
Members of the CPI(M) party organised a meeting on ‘Coal Shortage – Electricity Crisis,’ here on Saturday.
Speaking at the meeting, political analyst K. Nageswara Rao alleged that the Centre was not allotting coal blocks to the Coal India, with the intention of privatising it. He said that scarcity of coal will further burden consumers as it would lead to an increase in power tariff. He alleged that the Centre had not also allotted captive mines to the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP). He questioned why there is a shortage of coal when the country has the fourth largest coal reserves in the world.
