Bhubaneswar: Odisha is not facing coal shortage like other states and all coal mines in the state are operational, said Chief Secretary Suresh Mahapatra on Saturday.
In other states, there are 10 to 12 hours of power cuts due to lack of coal, but such is not the case in Odisha. The power situation in the State had been reviewed few days back.
Mahapatra has directed the Managing Director of Mahanadi Coalfields Limited to supply enough coal to all power plants.
