The state has undertaken more than 20,187 infrastructure development projects within mining districts, with 12,659 already completed at a cost of Rs 37.41 billion, as reported by the official.

Veenu Gupta, ACS (mines), announced that DMFT's governing council meetings will convene every six months to expedite decision-making and project endorsements.
