BRS teams visit Genco thermal power plants, inspect coal stocks

Teams of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders visited several thermal power plants in the State on Thursday to examine the coal stocks there and the position of power generation in the wake of reports of disruption in generation due to lack of coal stocks, and farmers staging protests demanding quality power supply to agricultural pump-sets, at least during the day-time.

They visited Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS) at Dameracherla in Nalgonda district, Kakatiya TP Project at Chelpur in Jayashankar-Bhupalapally district, Kothagudem TPS at Palvancha, and Bhadradri TPP in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district. A team also visited the Singareni Collieries corporate office here, staged a protest and submitted a memorandum on required coal supplies to power stations.
