Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, on Thursday said there was no impact of the three-day strike called by different trade unions to protest against the government’s decision to allow commercial mining of coal.
Another Coal India arm, Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) said mining through outsourcing companies remained unaffected.
However, the striking trade union leaders claimed that the stir impacted coal mining in the two subsidiaries of Coal India Ltd.
Trade unions went ahead with their three-day strike against commercial mining in the coal sector after talks with Coal and Mining Minister Pralhad Joshi had failed on Wednesday.
