KHAMMAM/BHUPALPALLY/PEDDAPALLI: Coal production in most mines of the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL), situated at various places across the State, came to a standstill on Wednesday, which marked the first day of a three-day strike called by several workers’ unions against the Central government’s decision to private coal mines.
Almost 75 per cent of SCCL employees working in the coal belt area of erstwhile Khammam district boycotted work and staged protests in Kothagudem, Yellandu, Manuguru and Sathupalli against the Centre’s move to auction coal mines.
