The Centre had on Tuesday cancelled the appointment of A K Singh as the Chairman of Bharat Coking Coal. He had returned to his previous post as Eastern Coalfields' General Manager.
Singh was a few months short of completing a full year as CMD of the Dhanbad-based BCCL. In its notice, the Ministry has cited lack of approval as the reason behind his removal.
According to sources, there were complaints against Singh. However, the nature of complaints is not known. BCCL is a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd.
Meanwhile the Union Coal Minister also appointed joint secretary level officers in the ministry as nodal officers for the seven mining subsidiaries of CIL.
According to a senior CIL official, the nodal officers will be responsible for helping subsidiary management to resolve issues with the ministry, if any.
