Hyderabad: Leaders of the All Bharat Koyagudem Mines Sangham–Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (ABKMS–BMS) on Sunday urged Union minister G. Kishan Reddy to allocate the long-pending Koyagudem Open Cast-III and JVR Open Cast-III coal blocks to the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). The union leaders met Kishan Reddy in Hyderabad and submitted a memorandum seeking his intervention. Kishan Reddy listened to their concerns and responded positively, they claimed. According to the memorandum, the Koyagudem OC-III and JVR OC-III coal blocks had remained non-operational for several years. They alleged that the previous BRS government had prevented SCCL from participating in auctions for new coal blocks.
