According to reports, the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has recently introduced a GPS-based vehicle tracking system at the Coal Handling Plant (CHP) in Yellandu town, to keep a tab on the movement of vehicles transporting coal and prevent pilferage of coal. SCCL has extended the technology-aided initiative to the CHP located adjacent to the 21 Incline mine of the British era in the Yellandu town as part of its plans to put in place the foolproof tracking mechanism to check theft of coal during transportation from various coal mines to the CHPs in the entire coal belt region. The facility has already been installed in almost all the CHPs in the entire Kothagudem region.
