Coal Ministry wants 50 rail links to evacuate fuel from mines: Anil Swarup.

The Coal Ministry has identified 50 rail projects to ensure evacuation of coal from the mines. 'We have raised the issue to the Railway Board. I will be meeting the Railway Board chairman later this month to discuss the issue threadbare, following which financing options will be explored,' Coal Secretary Anil Swarup said recently at a seminar organised by MCC Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kolkata.

According to him, the Centre is open to exploring the joint venture route for fast implementation of such projects.
