| "Fire was detected at the conveyor belts carrying coal to the units at 4.45 am. Both the conveyor belts were damaged but the generation units were unaffected", Sanjay Chakraborty of CESC said. Power supply was likely to be affected in north Kolkata as a result of this, he said. There was some coal left in the bunker and the company would utilise it judiciously for minimum impact in peak hour generation, he said. The conveyor belts were likely to be restored by tomorrow, Chakraborty said. "The fire was brought under control within an hour by six fire tenders and our efforts", he said. Titagarh power plant has four units of 60 MW capacity. |
