Just ahead of the crucial paddy sowing season, the inability of Indian Railways to change the coal linkage to the Rajpura Thermal Power Plant has adversely impacted the coal stocks at the Rajpura Thermal Power plant.
The Indian Railways was to change the coal linkage to the Rajpura Thermal Power Plant from the Indian Railway Network to the newly laid dedicated freight corridor (DFC) network. The Indian Railways asked the authorities concerned to stop all train movement on the track serving Nabha Power for at least five days. Joint permissions from all concerned departments were secured for this change of interlocking of the railway tracks at Sarai Banjara railway station, on the Ambala-Attari line.
