CISF Seizes 250 Tonnes of Coal in Jharkhand Crackdown on Theft
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) seized approximately 250 tonnes of coal from five tipper trucks near Ojha Tandi village in Jharkhand on October 5, following intelligence about illegal coal theft and dumping. The drivers abandoned the vehicles and fled. The seized coal and trucks were handed to Balumath Police Station, where an FIR was registered. This operation is part of CISF's intensified efforts since its formal induction in September to curb coal theft and pilferage in key coal-producing areas under Central Coalfields Limited.
