Saakshi Ji, Ye log reply krne ko tayyar nahi. I sent an email to the entire department, but no one cared to reply. Not even acknowledge. They are in some kind of nasha they do not want to come out of. pic.twitter.com/l32VGJtCOp

We produce one of the highest quantities of coal in India and yet we have on average 8 to 10 hours of power outage everyday. And nobody influential has ever tried to raise a voice on this issue, kudos to you. https://t.co/p33qRjDzX5

Power crisis in Jharkhand
As per reports, the coal crisis in power plants has power crisis in Jharkhand because of which load shedding is done in many parts of the state. Load shedding means power supply of one area is cut off to ensure power supply in other area. Last week, except for cities like Ranchi and Jamshedpur, several areas experienced power cuts for many hours. Dhoni has a family home in Ranchi and now it seems the power crisis has reached the state capital as well.
Earlier in March as the summer set in, three power plants in the state tripped leading to power crisis in several parts of the state. Dhanbad, Jamshedpur, Lohardaga, Gumla. Even back then, load shedding of 10-12 hours was being carried out in some districts.
