Amid reports of power shortage in various states, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily on Monday attacked the Centre, saying the coordination between power, coal and railway ministries is at its lowest ebb and due to it the common people are suffering.
Peak power shortage rose swiftly last week from single digit of 5.24 GW on Monday to touch double digit of 10.77 GW on Thursday showing effects of various factors like low coal stocks at generation plants, heatwave and other issues on the deepening electricity crisis.
In a statement, Moily said the biggest reason for coal shortage is the increasing power demand over the years.
