HYDERABAD
Chairman and Managing Director of the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) N. Balaram has asked company executives and workers to ensure uninterrupted coal supply to all thermal power plants having fuel-supply linkage with Singareni by producing and dispatching at least two lakh tonne (0.2 million tonnes) of coal everyday.
He instructed them to use additional pumps to dewater the opencast mines at the earliest so that the coal production there could be taken forward without any problem. Reviewing the coal production and dispatches with the general managers of all areas (mines) virtually from here on Saturday, he said removal of at least 14 lakh cubic meters of overburden would be necessary to ensure the required production of coal.
Directors D. Satyanarayana Rao (Electrical & Mechanical), G. Venkateshwar Reddy (Planning & Production), General Manager (Coordination) Sd. M. Subhani, GM (Coal Production) J. Ramesh and others participated in the meeting.
