HYDERABAD: Activists of TRS affiliated Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS) burnt the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to protest against the auction of 41 coal blocks of Coal India Limited (CIL), on Friday. The protestors staged a dharna in front of Singareni Bhavan — headquarters of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) in Hyderabad, as per the call given by former honorary president of TBGKS and former MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha.
TBGKS workers also staged protests at all the mines of SCCL on Friday. Workers will hold a strike and not work for one day on July 2 in all coal mines of SCCL. TBGKS president M Raji Reddy said once the Centre starts privatising coal blocks of CIL, it would be implemented in SCCL too.
