Govt to appoint full-time Singareni chief
The government of Telangana is going to choose a new permanent boss for a big coal company called Singareni Collieries.
The old boss was removed, and now someone else is temporarily in charge.
The government wants a new boss because there were some problems with how coal was being sold.
They are looking at important government officers for this job and will decide who to pick in early February.
This is important because the coal company needs a strong leader to make sure everything runs smoothly.
The Telangana government is initiating the process to appoint a full-time CMD for SCCL.
The move follows allegations of irregularities in the Naini coal tender process.
Currently, TG-Transco CMD D Krishna Bhaskar is holding the post on an interim basis.
The position has been vacant since Balaram was relieved of his duties.
The appointment is expected to be finalized in the first week of February.
