Five trade unions go on five-day strike in CIL
The strike was called protesting against the government’s plan to allow private companies to mine and sell coal.
The CIL management already appealed to the unions not to go on strike as power production across the country might be impacted owing to the impasse.
Sources said the strike is expected to result in production loss of up to 1.5 million tonnes a day.
CIL controls about 80 percent of India’s total coal output and a strike for five consecutive days might cripple power plants if the raw material is not transported on time. Coal fuels 60 percent of India’s power production.
