RAIPUR : The Centre has taken policy decisions to ensure early operationalisation of coal mines but their allottees should also go the extra mile along with the government to start the mines, a top official said on Wednesday.
Union Coal Secretary Sumanta Chaudhuri said his ministry has started the process of auctioning 27 mines and allotment of 15 coal mines, and the process is likely to get completed by November.
He was speaking at a stakeholder consultation meet on issues related to the coal sector organised by the Ministry of Coal in collaboration with industry body FICCI here.
