Lucknow: The All India Power Engineers\u2019 Federation (AIPEF) has demanded that the Centre take the responsibility to import foreign coal on government- to- government basis since state generation companies are in no way responsible for the coal crisis which has resulted from lack of coordination among ministries concerned.<\/p>\n
In a letter to Union power minister RK Singh, AIPEF chairman Shailendra Dubey demanded that the Centre import coal and make it available to state generation companies at prevailing Coal India Ltd (CIL) rates.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the coal shortage resulting from policy lapses on the part of the Central government, states must not be penalized,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He further argued that from a plain reading of Sec 11 of the Electricity Act along with the definition of \u2018Appropriate Government\u2019, it was concluded that the jurisdiction of the Central government, in applying section 11, was limited to a generating company that was wholly or partly owned by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
