Delhi govt using wrong info on power situation, creating panic: Centre

The Union Power Ministry said in a statement on Sunday that Power Minister R K Singh has “expressed displeasure” about the Delhi government “misleading the public with incorrect information” about the power situation in Delhi. “Panic was sought to be created by using wrong figures and this was reprehensible,” Singh said.

The thermal power plants supplying Delhi have sufficient reserve coal stocks for five to eight days, the Union Minister said.

Delhi Power Minister Satyendar Jain had written to the Centre requesting the government to ensure adequate power supply to the city.
