The Chhattisgarh government has given permission to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam for diversion of forest land for coal mining in an area of 1,136 hectares under Phase II of Parsa East-Kanta Basan coal block. Now there will be a smooth supply of coal to the thermal units of the state."The notification said, "Chief Minister Gehlot went to Raipur on Friday and met Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and requested him to issue approval for mining in the coal block allotted to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam at the earliest for smooth supply of coal to Rajasthan. After the Chief Minister's meeting with Baghel, the Forest and Climate Change Department, Government of Chhattisgarh, taking a decision with immediate effect, has given permission for diversion of forest land for coal mining in the second phase of Parsa East-Kanta Basan coal block.""In this regard, the Under Secretary, Forest and Climate Change Department, Government of Chhattisgarh has written a letter to the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief of Forest Force, Chhattisgarh to take appropriate action," it read.Notably, the Central government has allotted 15 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) coal blocks in Parsa East-Kanta Basan (PEKB) in Chhattisgarh and 5 MTPA capacity in Parsa to Rajasthan in the year 2015.
