Singareni sets national benchmark in implementation of Accident Insurance scheme
Hyderabad, June 7 (UNI) As part of employee welfare initiatives and in accordance with the directions of the Telangana government, state-owned Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has implemented a Rs one crore accident insurance scheme, which has now become a model for the entire country, said company Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) N Balram.
Balram made these remarks through video conference while presenting a Rs one crore accident insurance cheque to Ms Haridevi Vishwakarma, wife of Mool Chand Vishwakarma, an EP Operator from Manuguru, who recently passed away in an accident, by Director (Operations) L V Suryanarayana, Director (Projects, Planning & Personnel) K Venkateshwarlu, and SBI DGM Satyanarayana at an event held at the Kothagudem Head Office on Friday.
The CMD noted that the late Mool Chand had a corporate salary account with State Bank of India, making him eligible for the Rs one crore insurance benefits.
He explained that Singareni is the first government organization in the country to partner with banks and implement an accident insurance scheme with coverage of up to Rs 1.25 crore—a move that provides strong financial support to families of employees who lose their lives in accidents.
He further mentioned that this accident insurance scheme being implemented in Singareni has now been adopted by states such as Assam, Uttar Pradesh and even Coal India Limited.
The revolutionary initiative in the insurance sector, he added, was made possible due to the proactive efforts of the state government and the forward-thinking leadership of Singareni.
Unexpected accidents can financially devastate a family and to address this, Singareni has arranged accident insurance coverage for all employees holding salary accounts in collaboration with banks.
Additionally, he mentioned that similar accident insurance coverage of up to Rs 40 lakhs is also being provided to contract workers.

Large-cap funds saw a 53.19 per cent decline in net inflows at Rs 1,250.47 crore, compared to Rs 2,671.46 crore in April. Inflows into sector/thematic funds inched up to Rs 2,052.48 crore in May from Rs 2,000.95 crore in the previous month. Retail mutual fund folios (equity + hybrid + solution oriented schemes) stood at 18.84 crore in May 2025 as against 18.71 crore in April. Inflows into debt MFs and hybrid funds Debt mutual fund schemes saw outflows to the tune of Rs 15,908.48 crore in May, compared with inflows worth Rs 2.19 lakh crore in April. Outflows in the segment were majorly witnessed in liquid funds (Rs 40,205.36 crore) and overnight funds (Rs 8,120.03 crore). However, corporate bond funds saw inflows of Rs 11,983.35 crore, while money market funds recorded Rs 11,223.08 crore of flows on a net basis. Net inflows into hybrid funds stood at Rs 20,765.05 crore, compared to Rs 14,247.55 crore inflows in April.

Car showroom manager held for deceiving bizman of Rs 1cr
Bhubaneswar: Infocity police here on Monday arrested a car showroom manager for allegedly deceiving a businessman of Rs 1 crore under the pretext of facilitating a luxury vehicle purchase. Police have identified the accused as Sambit Panda, 32, who resides in Sailashree Vihar. In 2024, the victim, Rohit Roshan Mohanty, a local businessman, filed a complaint in a local court stating that Panda had collected Rs 1 crore from him for the car purchase, but reneged on the agreement. Following the court's instructions, police registered a case on Sept 7, 2024. During investigation, police came to know that the victim came in contact with the accused in 2023. Panda offered to assist Mohanty in acquiring the luxury vehicle at an optimal price. After receiving the substantial sum from the prospective buyer, the accused stopped communication with him. "When the victim requested for his money back, the accused issued severe threats. The accused evaded arrest for several months," said the police officer.
