Coal ministry cancels two lignite blocks allocated through screening committee route
The coal ministry has cancelled mining leases of two captive lignite blocks in Rajasthan allocated through screening committee to Binani Cement and Nandlal Enterprises.
Allotment of the Nimbri Chandavadan and Indawar blocks was re-examined by the ministry after the Supreme Court in October 2014 cancelled allocation of coal blocks through screening committee.
The ministry after consultation with the law ministry decided that the allocations were illegal.
