Closure of JK-5 OC has cast shadow on the fate of around 230 regular workers and around 100 contract workers who served in the mine so far

While multiple factors have contributed, the primary reason for the decline in coal production is believed to be the rise in the number of rainy days. According to preliminary estimates, approximately 67 million tonnes of coal have been produced so far, falling short of the 72 million-tonne target set for the financial year 2024-25.

Srirampur Area, one of the major units of SCCL, saw production of coal by 53.66 lakh tonnes as against the target of 60.38 lakh tonnes from April 1 to March 20

Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS) leader Raji Reddy said the fight against the auction of coal blocks would be intensified in the State.

BRS Parliamentary Party leader KR Suresh Reddy, Deputy leader Vaddiraju Ravichandra and MP Bandi Parthasarathy Reddy, asked the Centre to fulfill the promises made to Telangana under Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

CPI(M) Tammineni Veerabhadram demanded the Centre to cancel the auction and handover the two mines directly to Singareni.

The current Congress administration is being criticised for not mounting a strong defence against the Centre's plans, unlike the previous BRS government, paving way for privatisation.

To check the pollution developed due to mining activity, the Singareni management took up the plantation of trees at mining as well as residential areas.

The management of Singareni has also requested the Odisha government to complete the enumeration of trees in the Naini coal block area and their removal (cutting) so that coal mining could be taken up at the earliest.
