Tadicherla Coal Land Acquisition Speed-Up Directed by Naveen Mittal
A top energy official, Naveen Mittal, visited a coal mine and power plant.
He told the people working there to hurry up and get the land needed for the mine.
He also checked on the people who had to move because of the mine and made sure they were being treated fairly.
The official also looked at plans for a new conveyor belt to move coal more easily and a solar power plant to make sure electricity keeps running.
The goal is to get more coal out and make sure the power plants have what they need.
Principal Secretary Naveen Mittal ordered officials to accelerate land acquisition for the Tadicherla-1 Coal Block Open Cast Mine.
Mittal inspected mine operations, safety, environmental measures, and relocation plans for Tadicherla village.
He reviewed compensation distribution and Relief and Rehabilitation (R&R) measures for displaced families, emphasizing transparency.
