CISF Reviews Operations Against Coal Pilferage in Jharkhand and West Bengal
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) deployed around 12,000 personnel across 10 units in Jharkhand and West Bengal to combat coal pilferage and organized coal mafia activities. From September 16 to 18, CISF Director General Praveer Ranjan reviewed operations, highlighting the use of drone surveillance and surprise raids. Since July, enforcement of the Mines and Minerals Act has led to recovery of over 10,000 tonnes of coal and arrests. The CISF will soon take over security of the Amrapali Coal Mines, with ongoing coordination among agencies to ensure zero coal leakage.
