Khammam: Tension prevailed across the mining areas of Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) in the district on Tuesday, the first day of the five-day coal workers' strike protesting disinvestment and to press demands. Barring the SCCL recognised trade union – The Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS)---the other major trade unions of AITUC, INTUC and CITU took part in the strike.
The 21 incline (underground mine) in Yellendu witnessed tension when employees of two trade unions jostled with one another, with one union supporting the strike and the other saying no. Timely intervention of the police defused the situation.
As a precautionary measure, the police took a few trade union leaders into custody at Yellendu and Kothagudem, where impact of the strike was severe. The SCCL officials claimed that the strike had little impact on production and dispatches.
