NEW DELHI: Warning of a power crisis in the state, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has tapped Congress President Sonia Gandhi for the second time in three months to get Chhattisgarh to speed up clearances for mining coal for power plants.
Power generation units in Rajasthan have an allocation of coal from mines in Chhattisgarh but delays in state-level clearances have stalled most of them. Gehlot first wrote to Sonia Gandhi on December 1, 2021, and then again on February 10, according to copies of the letters seen by PTI.
