AHMEDABAD: With farmers in different parts of Gujarat complaining of frequent power cuts, Energy Minister Kanubhai Desai on Friday said the “crisis” is mainly due to a short supply of coal and the situation will become normal in the next 15 days.
While admitting that shortage of coal – due to a combination of factors, including flooding in coal mines in some parts of the world and rise in domestic demand – has hit generation at thermal power plants, Desai said Gujarat is in a much better position compared to other states.
