Coal For Less Than 2 Days In Power Plants, Maharashtra Blames Centre
NDTV
Declaring that the supplies from the Coal India Limited have been erratic, Maharashtra power minister Nitin Raut accused the Centre of not helping the state.
The overall power crisis in Maharashtra is far greater than just Mumbai, which has been largely protected so far, Maharashtra power minister Nitin Raut said today. There is a shortage of 20,000 lakh metric tonnes and key thermal power plants in the state will run out of coal in less than 2 days, the minister told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
Declaring that the supplies from the Coal India Limited have been erratic, he accused the Centre of not helping the state.
Maharashtra, he said, is facing "power politics". "Because Maharashtra is in the hands of the MVA (Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi) government, the government of India is not cooperating properly with Maharashtra and that's why the shortage is fabricated here," he said.
"The coal shortage is there. There is no question about it. Because the agreement which we have with CIL (Coal India Limited) after the bridge linkage is also there and some MO is also there with WCL, ACCl, ECL," he said.
