Breach at Central Coalfields Kathara Washery releases slurry coal into Damodar river
What happened
A breach in Slurry Pond No. 5 at Central Coalfields Limited’s Kathara Washery washed a large quantity of slurry coal towards the Damodar river over the past two to three days. The slurry reportedly flowed out after part of the embankment gave way on Wednesday evening, which officials believe was caused by continuous heavy rainfall. Around 30,000 tonnes of slurry coal were stored in the pond.
