The KTK mines produced 3.52 lakh tonnes of coal during October against the target of 3.85 lakh tonnes through its four underground mines and two opencast mines
Following death of two workers after a sidewall collapsed on them at the OCM-2 coal mine on Wednesday, Managing Director N Balram strong measures would be taken to improve safety in the mines.
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.
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.
Participating in an interaction session with senior officials from NTPC and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), Vismita Tej discussed the scenario of coal availability, evacuation and logistics.
Balram said the vigilance department had been asked to keep track of fraudsters and take stringent action against persons misleading workers about the medical board.
