Express News Service reported that expressing concern over the delay in commissioning production of the auctioned coal blocks, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry has urged the State government to set up a dedicated cell to monitor the progress and sort out issues relating to land acquisition and expeditious approval of statutory clearances. FICCI Secretary General Mr Dilip Chenoy wrote to Odisha’s Chief Secretary Mr Suresh Mahapatra “I would take this opportunity to bring to your kind notice that 12 coal mines have been allocated and auctioned in Odisha since 2015 having production capacity of 97 million tonne per annum which will generate revenue of over INR 7,000 crore every year for the State exchequer, creating over 1 lakh direct and indirect local jobs.”
