Mansa: With the resumption of rail services, a train carrying coal has reached Talwandi Sabo Power Limited in Mansa. The arrival of the train has been confirmed by the management of the thermal plant. These trains have been started under the green signal given by the Northern Railway Department after inspecting the railway lines.
Faced with an acute shortage of coal following the farmers protesting on rail tracks leading to power plants at Baniwala in Mansa district, the TSPL earlier had to stall its power production as it had run out of coal stock.
The farmers had been agitating on the rail tracks since October 1, leading to disruption in the coal rake movement. The situation had become serious as other thermal plants across the state had also faced similar situations, but with the start of good trains carrying coal, the situation would improve in coming days.
