Heavy Rains Halt Coal Production in Mancherial District
Heavy rain caused problems for the Singareni coal mines.
The rain flooded the open mines, stopping the machines and trucks from working.
This meant less coal could be dug up.
While the underground mines are still working, the company is having a hard time meeting its goals.
Also, part of a building where a former leader lived fell down because of the rain, but nobody was hurt.
