NONGSTOIN: West Khasi Hills District the Special Committee has completed assessment of extracted coal and will submit the report to the State government shortly.
The committee has found that a total of more than 2 lakh metric tonnes of coal is laying in coal depots across West Khasi Hills district.
Assessment in far away coal depots could not be conducted due to monsoon, sources said adding that the same would be done in the winter season.
