    Thanks God both driver and cleaner survived with minor injuries.But amazing thing is that few days ago UPCL,Udupi has announced that state has to face darkness in the coming days because UPCL,Udupi has stopped generating power in the plant for the past two weeks due to shortage of coal.But this article says that the lorry, with a Bangalore registration number, was transporting coal from Mangalore to Hospet. How can it be possible when state is reeling under the crisis of coal shortage,from where coal is being transported to Hospet from Mangalore.What is the mystery behind this shortage? Shobhakka can you crack it?
