Sharing a letter I have written to Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana, Revanth Reddy, seeking an urgent inquiry into media reports alleging the disappearance of 40 lakh tonnes of coal worth nearly ₹1,600 crore from The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL).
Given the company’s existing financial stress due to over ₹51,500 crore in outstanding dues from the Telangana Government, any reported irregularities warrant a thorough investigation. I have called upon the Chief Minister to ensure a prompt inquiry, strengthen safeguards where necessary, and secure the smooth operation of SCCL and the welfare of its manpower.
The welfare of over 40,000 SCCL employees and their families, as well as the future of this prestigious institution, must remain our collective priority.
