No power project would be allowed to close on account of the mistakes made by the UPA Government. The Central Government is taking steps to make up for the shortage of coal. The area of mining in the country is being increased. Meanwhile, as an alternative, coal is also being imported from abroad.
This was stated by the Union Minister of Mining and Steel, Narendra Singh Tomar, while talking to reporters. He said that many power projects have diminished in capacity. The Union Government is making arrangements to rectify the situation. He also said that the main reason blocking the power project in Khandwa is shortage of coal.
While garlanding the statue of Maharaja Man Singh Tomar, the Union Minister said that the Maharaja was not only a lover of the arts and music but also he encouraged the people in these. Music maestros Tansen and Baiju Wabra practiced their music in Gwalior. He said that Tomar kings ruled Gwalior for 140 years out of them the rule of Maharaja Man Singh was the best. At that time the Government was run on the power of the sword. Maharaja Man Singh was capable in warfare ie he never allowed Sikandra lodhi to cross the Chambal river.
Tomar made a plea for financial assistance to 10 students learning classical music every year, so that they can bring glory to Gwalior.The leaders who participated in the programme included MP from Morena Anoop Mishra, MP from Bhind Bhagirath Prasad, MlA Bharat Singh Kusahwah, Ghan Shayam Pironia, former Minister Dhaynendra Singh, district BJP president Abhay Choudhary, state vice-president Ved Prakash Sharma, former SADA chairman Jai Singh Kushawah, Dheer Singh Tomar, Ravindra Singh Rajput, Arun Tomar, Rakesh Jadon, Satish Sikarwar and others.
