Coal crisis: No power cuts in Mumbai, for now

A coal crisis has been threatening to disrupt power supplies countrywide

Electricity distributors have assured citizens of no power cuts in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra as long as the coal supply situation does not deteriorate further.

The minister, however, blamed the Centre-run Coal India Ltd for botching up the coal linkages to the generation units.
