Stir won’t hit power generation: TSGENCO
Hyderabad: Employees of the coal industry representing Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) and Coal India Ltd will go on a five-day nationwide strike on Tuesday to denounce moves towards commercial mining of the fuel. A senior union leader warned that the strike may hit power supply in the country.
An industry source said, "It goes without saying that all end-use sectors like power, steel, cement and iron are going to be hit hard by the coal strike." But according to TSGENCO Director (Thermal) M Sachidanandam the power plants have enough coal stocks for the next 20 days. The strike would not affect the thermal power generation. Coal has been stocked at Kothagudem and Bhupalapalli thermal plants in advance, the official said. TSGENCO runs four thermal projects with an installed capacity of 2282.5 MW in the state.
Though the five trade unions of the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) comprising of Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha were demanding scrapping of the enabling clause from the Coal Mines Ordinance 2014, which allows commercial mining by private firms and divestment of at least 10 per cent stake in CIL and among other demands, Telangana Boggu Ghani Karmika Sangham (BGKS), the recognized trade union, announced that it would not participate in the strike.
The BGKS leaders say that the strike was uncalled for as the Ordinance has already been passed for the coal blocks allocation, the BGKS leaders said that they have supported when these unions called for a strike on November 24.
