‘There is a shortage of coal in the country’
Jain said a day after the emergency meeting on the issue, “If electricity is being produced and we keep getting it, then there is no problem. But if the power plant is shut down If it goes, it will become a problem (in Delhi). There is a shortage of coal in the country.”

We need to find a solution together soon. There is a need for quick, concrete steps to deal with this.”
