Last month, nearly 670 trips of passenger trains were curtailed to facilitate the coal supply. The move had caused some inconvenience to passengers travelling to and from coal producing states like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. As the blistering heatwave continues, the shortage of electricity has been reported in states such Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Odisha and many have to endure frequent power cuts, following which the central government has held several meetings to tackle the coal shortage.
