Government starts Deocha drilling with villagers’ consent -Snehamoy Chakraborty

The development, multiple sources said, is vital to initiate the next phase of work to operationalise the coal mine amid protests by a large number of local people

Calcutta: The Bengal government on Thursday started exploratory drilling at a stretch of land at a village under the proposed Deocha-Pachami coal mine project in a bid to estimate the layers and quality of coal-reserve with the consent of local people in writing.

The development, multiple sources in the administration said, is vital to initiate the next phase of work to operationalise the coal mine amid protests by a large number of local people under the banner of an apolitical platform against the project.

Today, we started exploratory drilling at a village that falls under the first-leg of the Deocha-Pachami coal mine project. There will be 13 such points where drillings will take place in the area and we would complete the work within a month,” said Birbhum district magistrate Bidhan Ray.

“The most significant thing is that villagers requested us in writing to start the drilling process for the coal mine,” the DM added.
