In the wake of the ongoing power crisis in the state, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday directed officials to ensure power supply as per the roster in all 75 districts and to map out road routes to speed up coal transport to thermal plants.
After several thermal plants in the state recently reported outages, the chief minister called a review meeting to discuss the power situation in the state and said that was a need for wide-scale reforms in the power sector.
Adityanath also directed officials to draft an extensive plan to ramp up the state’s power sector and meet the increasing demand for electricity.
