     Amid concerns over increasing coal shortage in the country, Coal and Power Minister Piyush Goyal has stated that twenty-two coal-based power plants monitored by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) were reeling under fuel shortages with stocks to last less than four days as on 29th July. The Power Minister added that difficulties in supply of coal from Coal India subsidiaries due to law and order problems and deficient monsoon are the major reason for low coal stocks at power plants.
