Over 2000 people under the banner of Satra Mukti Sangram Samity (SMSS) on Thursday staged a sit-in-protest in Tinsukia's Margherita against Coal India Limited (CIL) for forcefully designating residential areas as coal dumping ground.
The Assam government and Coal India Limited (CIL) have decided to conduct joint inspections at coal mining sites every fortnight to curb illegal mining in the state.
