Move against the Centre’s decision to auction four coal blocks in the State for commercial mining
Upping the ante against the Centre’s decision to auction four coal blocks in the State for commercial mining, trade unions of the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), affiliated to the five Central trade unions INTUC, AITUC, CITU, HMS and BMS, have joined hands with the Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS) to go on strike for three days starting December 9.
The five major trade unions have served a notice on the management of the State-owned SCCL to go on a strike for 72 hours from December 9 to 11 to press for a 12-point charter of demands mainly to mount pressure on the Centre stop auction of coal blocks.
The ruling TRS affiliated TBGKS has already sent a notice to the company’s management five days ago conveying its decision to go on strike on or after December 9 to press for a five-point charter of demands including removal of the four coal blocks of the SCCL – Kalyan Khani Block-6, Koyagudem Block-III, Sattupalli Block-III and Shravanapalli from the Coal Ministry’s list of commercial coal mine auction.
