Allaying fears of shortage of power supply this summer, Power and Public Works Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO has announced that the thermal plants have sufficient reserves of coal for 43 days.
He was to inaugurate development works in villages of Jandiala Guru here on Tuesday. “It was made possible due to the opening of a coal mine located in Jharkhand by the AAP-led state government,” he said.
Elaborating on the planning made by the department regarding power supply in summer days, he said the thermal plants in the state currently had reserves for 43 days. He said this happened due to the Punjab Government’s opening of a coal mine located in Jharkhand, which was closed for a long time.
