Delhi power minister Satyendar Jain on Wednesday claimed the coal stock figures cited by him in his recent letter to Union Power minister R K Singh was authentic and if there was any confusion, it was created by the Centre and its website.
In his April 28 letter to Singh, Jain had given details of low coal stock at various thermal plants supplying power to Delhi, and urged the Centre to ensure adequate availability of coal for uninterrupted electricity supply in the capital.
Replyng to Jain, Singh had charged that the Delhi government was “misleading” the public with incorrect information about the electricity situation in the capital, according to sources. He had also shared availability of coal at various plants.
