Due to a power shortfall, the railways have cancelled 753 journeys in order to prioritise coal deliveries

The South East Central Railway (SECR) has cancelled a total of 713 trips until May 25, while the Northern Railways (NR) has cancelled 40 trips until May 8.

Passengers travelling from coal-producing states such as Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand will be affected the most by the cancellations.

At least 108 of India’s 173 thermal coal-fired power plants have critically low coal inventories right now. Maharashtra, Punjab, Jharkhand, Bihar, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh have all experienced power outages as a result of a lack of coal at thermal power plants.

On April 28, India experienced a power shortage of 192.1 million units as peak demand hit a new high of 204.6 GW. On Thursday, India’s thermal power plants had an average coal stock of less than eight days, compared to a norm of 24 days.

The shortage has occurred despite the fact that the Coal Ministry has stated that there is enough coal to meet the demand of power plants. Coal accounts for about 75% of India’s power needs, and the railways are the primary coal transporter.

The SECR division, which covers coal-producing regions, has cancelled 34 trains, according to the Rail Ministry. NR, which includes areas that receive coal for many of the north’s power plants, has decided to cancel the project.

Rail Ministry has raised the average daily loading of coal rakes to over 400 a day, the highest in the past five years. The national transporter has also put over 500 rakes for coal duty per day, 53 more were put into service last year. On Thursday, 1.62 million tonnes of coal was loaded in 427 rakes, according to the ministry.

According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is quitting the Late Night programme.

According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.

This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.

Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”

The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”

Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.

“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”

Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.

“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.

Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.

“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.

Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
