Production halt at Parsa East & Kanta Basan block in Chhattisgarh has resulted in scarce coal supply in poll-bound Rajasthan, an official in the coal ministry said. The chief ministers of both the Congress-ruled states, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, have been holding meetings over the past on the issue, the official said.
The Parsa East & Kanta Basan block is located in Chhattisgarh, where elections are due next month.
The 15 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) coal mine in Chhattisgarh is owned by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL).
