Speaking on the occasion, the MLA demanded the Central government to immediately rollback the decision of priviatisation of four blocks of Singareni. He said, the blocks should be allotted to Singareni immediately, he demanded.
He said, the SCCL management should pay benefits to all the workers on the line of the Coal India. He demanded that the company should immediately arrange suitable jobs to the workers who are unfit to work underground mines. He also demanded SCCL to follow the old system of leaves for the workers.
