On the second day of a five-day media exposure tour, a 13-member Uttarakhand delegation visited South Eastern Coalfields Limited's (SECL) Gevra Opencast Coal Mine. The journalists observed mining operations, production capacity, and safety protocols at the world's second-largest and Asia's largest opencast coal mine. SECL is focusing on strengthening safety standards and environmental protection measures, such as afforestation, dust control, and Miyawaki plantation.
