Yamunanagar: The power crisis further aggravated in the state today with the closure of unit-8 of the 250-MW super thermal plant, Panipat. The unit-8 was shut down last night following leakage in boiler.

Yamunanagar: The two major thermal plants of the state - the Yamunanagar-based Deen Bandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Project of 600 MW and the Super Thermal Plant, Panipat, of 1360 MW - have come under the category of super critical stage due to shortage of coal in the stock for these plants.
