Telangana faces a severe power crisis, Chief Minister’s office (or relevant government) Harish Rao says, citing constraints in electricity supply. According to the reports, Rao attributes the situation to inadequate coal supplies and reduced thermal power generation, which together limit the state’s ability to meet demand. Both outlets describe the crisis as driven by supply-side issues rather than a single outage or local failure. The allegation focuses on reductions in thermal generation that result from coal availability, leading to tighter power availability across the state. While the reports emphasize Rao’s claims, they do not provide additional independent verification or detailed figures within the provided excerpts. Overall, the coverage presents the same core explanation: insufficient coal and lower thermal output are central to the severe electricity shortfall facing Telangana. The reports also frame Rao as publicly warning or asserting that the state’s power situation has worsened under these conditions.
