Locals protest NTPC’s 21-km long conveyor belt plan citing livelihood crisis

The NTPC's new conveyor belt in Chatra, designed to transport 96,000 metric tonnes of coal daily, is causing discontent among locals who depend on truck-based coal transportation for their livelihoods. With the belt's full operation slated for next year, concerns are rising about job losses and loan repayments.
