Sources say due to heavy rain about 80 percent of the coal production in the various opencast mines of the company has come to a standstill as it has become difficult to use heavy machinery.

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.

Addressing a meeting of e-auction bidders and company customers on Tuesday, Balram said Singareni treats its customers in a friendly manner and recognizes them as partners of progress rather than consumers.

Union chairman G Saibabu stated that the Singareni was basically a coal mining company and it did not have expertise on constructing power plants, hence handing over the construction work of the power plant to it was not advisable.

Auction of the coal mine was nothing but privatization of Singareni. Participation in the auction was nothing but accepting that Singareni had no right on coal mines, he said.

The BRS working president asked why was Congress government not questioning the union government on direct allocations of mines (exempting from auctioning) to PSUs in Gujarat and Orissa by NDA government?

The State government’s participation in the auction contradicts their previous stance of opposing the auction and seeking direct allocation from the Centre to Singareni, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said.
