A rescue operation is underway at the underground coal mine
Four coal miners are believed to have been killed in a roof collapse incident at the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL)’s SRP 3 & 3A incline underground mine in the Srirampur area of Mancherial district this morning.
The incident occurred when the miners were engaged in work related to roof stitch at about 15 meters from the junction inside the underground mine after a portion of the roof caved in at 10.30 a.m., sources said.
Forest Department’s afforestation plans go awry as A.P. govt. fails to release CAMPA funds in time. The department has not been able to implement its Annual Plan Operation since 2018-19 despite the Union government releasing funds, and the interest accrued on unutilised funds now stands at ₹250 crore.
