Coal Minister inaugurates Rs 300 crore Angul-Balram rail line in Odisha
Evacuation of coal from Talcher coalfields in Odisha’s Angul district is set to get a boost with the inauguration of the Rs 300-crore Angul-Balram rail link on Thursday.
The project, inaugurated by Union Coal and Mines Minister Pralhad Joshi, in the presence of his cabinet colleagues Dharmendra Pradhan and Ashwini Vaishnaw, is likely to enable Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) to increase its daily dispatch of coal by around 40,000 tonne.
