BHUBANESWAR: If all the power plants proposed in Orissa materialise, the huge capacity addition in energy generation would have brought about a bigger problem of ash.
With the State leaving no power generation option unexplored, it could well find itself in a tricky situation.
LUCKNOW: The two units of Parichha thermal power project, which are under the scanner of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for snuffing out fly-ash, thereby causing health hazard to thousands of villagers living around, have been waiting for almost five years for a mandatory renovation exercise, top sources in UP Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam have revealed.
