Heavy rains lashed the coal mining region of the State for the second consecutive day hampering coal production in open cast mines of the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL).
The daily coal output from all the coal mining areas of the SCCL reportedly fell by about 70,000 tonnes from the average daily production of 2 lakh tonnes, SCCL sources said.
The State-owned coal mining giant has 18 opencast projects and 24 underground coal mines spread across the State’s coal belt region.
