Earlier, the associations had also intimated the top management of Coal India Limited (CIL) regarding the protest.

In a communication issued by AIACE Convenor P.K.S. Rathore, the associations highlighted that the demonstration is aimed at drawing attention to several long-pending and unresolved issues affecting serving and retired employees of the coal sector, including:

• Non-revision of pensions under the Coal Mines Pension Scheme, 1998 (CMPS-1998), despite repeated representations.

• Inadequate pension corpus, leading to meagre pensions for thousands of retired employees.

• Lack of long-term financial security for workers who served Coal India Ltd., a Maharatna PSU under the Ministry of Coal.

• Pay disparity between executives and wage board employees.

• Medical-related concerns for both serving and retired employees.

The associations emphasized that the peaceful protest is intended to seek urgent redressal of these issues, which have remained unaddressed for years despite repeated appeals to authorities.
