Airport project will block coal reserves
Special Correspondent
KOLKATA: Reserves of about 1.4 billion tonnes of prime Ranigunj coal will get blocked if the project proposed by the West Bengal Government for setting up an airport and a mini-township in the Andal-Fardipur block in Burdwan is implemented, a study done by the Central Mine Planning and Design Institute (CMPDI) has revealed.
A report based on the study, has recommended that the project be shifted just 15 km south to save the coal reserves in the interest of the country’s energy security, while still implementing the airport project which was also a crucial infrastructure project. Copies of the report have been sent to the Union Civil Aviation Ministry, the Coal Ministry as also the West Bengal Government.
