Kolkata: Amid reports of poor progress in the development of coal blocks, allotted to various entities long ago, the Centre has engaged a consultant to assist them to overcome challenges and make the mines productive, an official said on Thursday. The government intends to conduct the next round of coal block auctions in January, he said.
“Engaged a consultant to guide the allottees to navigate through the processes,” Coal Ministry’s additional secretary M Nagaraju said at an event organised by mjunction.
