Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president and Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy on Saturday urged Prime minister Narendra Modi to immediately withdraw the decision to put to auction the four coal blocks of Singareni Collieries Company Limited in Telangana.
“Any decision to auction the four coal blocks in SCCL will disrupt the coal supply in the region and will make life difficult for workers in this trying time of Covid-19 pandemic. Coal production in Telangana-owned SCCL came to a halt on Thursday as the employees launched a three-day strike to oppose the Centre’s move to auction the four coal blocks,” he said in a letter to the PM.
