Suitable steps shall be undertaken in relation to Mine Closure Planning.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes It may be due to areal diffusion of dust from the adjacent coal mining activities, transportation of coal and road traffic and domestic sources. The adjoining industries are collieries & washeries of BCCL & TISCO.
