KTR vows to protect Singareni, fight privatisation

Hyderabad, Oct 22 (UNI) BRS working president K T Rama Rao (KTR) on Thursday vowed to fight attempts to weaken Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) or push it towards privatisation, asserting that the party would stand firmly with coal mine workers.
At a meeting with BRS MLAs, former MLAs, regional leaders and Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS) representatives at Telangana Bhavan, KTR reviewed workers’ issues and the company’s future following the ‘Singareni Karmika Garjana’ held in Godavarikhani.
He directed party leaders to highlight concerns over Singareni’s finances, declining coal production, alleged tender irregularities and pending dues, while questioning both the Congress government in Telangana and the BJP-led Centre over their stand on the company.
KTR also called for publicising worker welfare measures introduced during the previous BRS government, including profit-sharing, employment for dependents and medical facilities. The meeting discussed strengthening TBGKS and preparing for the upcoming trade union elections, according to a party statement.
