West Bengal depleting Coal Reserves disrupts Power Supply
Brace yourself to celebrate a dark Diwali this year in Kolkata. The state will soon face acute power shortage in the days to come. This power shortage can be blamed because of West Bengal’s inadequate coal supply to the thermal power generation plant. The coal reserves in the state are on the fast track of depletion. To make matters worse the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company (WBSEDCL) is reeling under a Rs 900 crore debt and it does not have enough money to fund buying of coal in a daily basis. The problem has grown into vast proportions and can already be witnessed in WBSEDCL augmentation and maintenance work of its distribution of power across the state.
