‘Sakala Janula Samme’ threatens to leave others ‘power’less

The general strike called by the Telangana Employees Joint Action Committee (JAC) demanding statehood to Telangana is all set to cripple the power generation and disrupt the demand-supply balance in the country.
The stoppage of coal production at Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL), which is one of the key coal assets in the country, is expected to have significant impact on power generation in Maharashtra and Karnataka apart from Andhra Pradesh.
The workers union of Singareni Collieries is a part of the JAC and has joined the general strike from Tuesday. Though the strike has mixed response over the last three days with life in Hyderabad remaining largely normal, the hit taken by the coal production is now worrying the generation units.
SCCL produces about 50 million tones of coal and most of it is used for generating power in various units of NTPC, Parli power station of Maharashtra’s Mahagenco and Karnataka Power Corporation.
