Punjab's Talwandi Coal Power Plants Forced to Shut Down As Coal-crisis Increases

Facing coal-crunch, Punjab's Talwandi Sabo Power Plant has been forced to shut down. The Nabha Power Limited, Rajpura is also facing coal shortage as farmers continue sitting on rail-track gates of both the plants. Though they were advised to maintain coal stock for 25 days, some plants are left with limited stock while others have already exhausted it. However, Power Corporation is managing the shortage by power exchange, said an official.
