Sindri: The Dhanbad administration on Tuesday directed the BCCL authority to stop loading coal at the Muraidih coal dump after a clash between two warring factions of labourers. Dhanbad SDO Surendra Kumar said the action was taken to defuse the tension in the area and pave way for the reconciliation talks scheduled on Friday.
Kumar said, “We have directed the BCCL management to stop coal loading Muraidih dump till further orders and have invited the warring factions for reconciliation talks on Friday.”
Hours ahead of the clash, a gang of around 25 criminals attacked the office of the mining outsourcing company, Maa Ambe, at Benidih under Block II of BCCL on Monday midnight by hurling crude bombs and assaulting the workers of the office. The criminals also set fire to two Volvo trucks parked on the office campus before fleeing.
