Union coal minister G. Kishan Reddy announced today that the ministry of coal is taking steps to transform closed coal mines across India into tourism hotspots.
The Ministry of Coal has signed two more coal mine development and production agreements with the successful bidders of two coal mines - Marwatola-II and Namchik West - under the 11th round of commercial auctions, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
A total of 12 coal mines were successfully auctioned, comprising eight fully explored mines and four partially explored coal mines in the 11th round of coal mine auctions for commercial mining, according to a Ministry of Coal statement on Monday.
Despite the ban imposed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), rat-hole coal mining continues unabated in Assam, particularly in the central part of the state.
The mines for which agreements were executed are Machhakata (Revised) coal mine, Kudanali Lubri coal mine, and Sakhigopal-B Kakurhi coal mine. Among these three, two are partially explored, while one is fully explored.
Additionally, approximately 20.39 lakh tonnes of fly ash have been repurposed to date at Gorbicoal mine pit-1.
Since the first auction of commercial mining in 2020, a total of 91 coal mines have been successfully auctioned during a short period of three years in seven tranches under the commercial coal mining, the coal ministry said on Friday.
This is the third such incident of the death of illegal coal miners in the collieries of Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) in the past week. While three illegal coal miners were officially killed in Narayankuri, Raniganj, two illegal coal miners were killed in Nirsa colliery, ECL.
A temporary coal shortage has emboldened the Indian government to press ahead with plans to develop 99 new coal projects with the production of 427 million tonnes per year (mtpa), a briefing by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) said on Thursday.
