Shortage in coal supply: Thinking about load-shedding across the state
Bengaluru, Oct 23: The state government is thinking of implementing load-shedding across the state following the shortage of coal in major power plants in the state.
It has been reported that the state government has come up with load shedding plans ahead of Diwali. There will be load-shedding in Bangalore city for two hours a day — one hour each during the peak hours in the morning and evening and two or three hours in other parts of the state.
As the state's major power producing unit Raichur is facing the shortage of coal, its two divisions have shut for last one week. A few days ago, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had written to the Union government to immediately supply the coal.
The CM had expressed concern with the Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Piyush Goyal that a major problem would occur if the required amount of coal is not provided to the state. Even after that, the required amount of coal has not been provided to the state. Electricity is being produced at RTPs from the stored coal. Consequently, the KPTCL officials have requested the government to do the load shedding.

PM Modi is controlled by Donald Trump, wants to do the same in TN: Rahul Gandhi
Ranipet (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was being "controlled" by US President Donald Trump and that the PM wanted the AIADMK to capture power so that he could control Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Also, he claimed that the prime minister "handed out our energy security and gave away our data, besides selling our farmers and small and medium industries."
"You saw yesterday (in Parliament) the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi completely lacking confidence," Rahul said on the delimitation bill.
"He (PM) could not even face the opposition. He was sitting sideways. And the reason is, he is controlled by the United States. He signed the India-US deal that sold our country out," Rahul said while addressing an election rally here.
He further said, "Today, if Donald Trump tells Modi to jump, Modi jumps. If Donald Trump tells Modi to lie down, Modi lies down. Why? Because Donald Trump controls Modi fully. How does he control him? He controls through the Epstein files. He controls him because he knows Modi's financial systems and understands Modi's link with Adani," the Congress leader alleged.
Just as he was being controlled by Trump, Modi wanted to do the same to the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. "That is why he wants to put AIADMK in power in TN," Rahul said.
The Union government had rejected references to PM Modi in the latest Jeffrey Epstein case files, describing it as “little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal that deserves to be dismissed with the utmost contempt”.
