There is no shortage of coal for power generation in the thermal power stations in the State, Electricity Minister P. Thangamani said on Wednesday.
Mr. Thangamani told presspersons that the thermal power stations were receiving 16 rakes of coal every day from the Centre, following the demand made by the State government. As such, there was no coal shortage in the power stations, he said.
The State had taken effective steps to ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers during the monsoon season, he said, adding that the DMK was levelling corruption charges against the AIADMK regime for political reasons.
