KOLKATA: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday announced jobs for one member from each family which donates land for Deucha-Pachami coal block in Birbhum district, India’s largest coal mining project.
“Today, the cabinet has made relaxations in the recruitment rules for appointment of one member each from a family which donates land for the coal mining project. They will get jobs of junior constable or senior constable as per their qualification,” Banerjee said, addressing the media at the state secretariat.
Earlier in November 2021, the chief minister announced a ₹10,000 crore compensation package for local people who are likely to be displaced or affected due to the Deocha-Pachami coal mine project.
