New Delhi: The coal crisis in the country has sparked a ‘power struggle’, literally, between two Congress-administered states. Rajasthan, which suffered widespread blackouts due to fuel shortage at its power stations in recent months, has knocked at the Centre’s doors, saying the Chhattisgarh government is stalling plans to start two coal blocks and raise production from two other mines.
After repeated requests to the Chhattisgarh forest department for clearance went unheeded, Rajasthan additional chief secretary Subodh Agarwal has sought the intervention of coal and power secretaries Anil Jain and Alok Kumar, respectively. In separate letters to Jain and Kumar, Agarwal has stressed the need for the Centre to weigh in on the Chhattisgarh government to take early action needed to start/raise production from the mines to ensure Rajasthan’s energy security.
