Ensure quality, mine safety, CIL told

Union Coal Secretary Susheel Kumar on Tuesday reminded State-owned Coal India to ensure quality and mine safety. “The slippage between promised quality and delivered quality has to go,” he was quoted saying in a CIL release with reference to the firm’s foundation day celebrations. Kumar also stressed that the construction of washeries be accorded highest priority. Acting CIL Chairman Gopal Singh said the miner is targeting 600 million-tonne production this fiscal.
