KOLKATA: Production of Coal India Ltd (CIL) is likely to take a hit on Tuesday as workmen unions have decided to go on a one-day strike to protest against the centre’s decision to allow 100 per cent foreign direct investment in coal mining.
Five federations representing over half-a-million workers of Coal India Ltd and Singareni Collieries, called for the strike on September 24, seeking withdrawal of the central government’s decision regarding the foreign direct investment in coal mining.
“All five federations except BMS are going to observe the strike on Tuesday,” All India Coal Workers’ Federation General Secretary DD Ramanandan told PTI.
