This recent CAG report on Corporate Social Responsibility of Coal India Ltd reveals that 239 mines which have been in operation since before 1994, do not have prior environment clearance.
A report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on the performance audit of the activities of Corporate Social Responsibility by Coal India Ltd (CIL) during April 2004 to March 2010 in areas like environmental protection, safety requirement, occupational health of the workers and community development shows low allocation of funds and even failure to utilise those meagre funds.
