WARANGAL: Principal secretary (energy) Naveen Mittal has directed officials to immediately complete the land acquisition required for the Tadicherla-1 Coal Block Open Cast Mine.
Mittal, accompanied by Genco CMD Harish, district collector Rahul Sharma, and senior thermal and coal officials, inspected operations at the Tadicherla-1 mine during his visit to Jayashankar Bhupalpally district on Tuesday.
The team reviewed mining activity, production processes, safety systems, environmental safeguards, the proposed relocation area for Tadicherla village, the machinery yard, and the feeder breaker.
Following the inspection, the Principal Secretary held a review meeting and sought updates on compensation distribution and Relief and Rehabilitation (R&R) measures for displaced families, stressing transparent and speedy execution.
