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.

ED conducts raids in Delhi, Raj, Gujarat in ₹2,700 cr money laundering case involving real estate scheme
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a massive crackdown on Thursday in connection with a Rs 2,700 crore money laundering case involving a real estate scheme. The ED conducted raids at approximately 24 locations across Delhi, Rajasthan and Gujarat. According to agency sources, the ongoing investigation is linked to a large-scale financial fraud related to a real estate scheme named Red Nexa Evergreen. In Rajasthan, ED teams carried out operations in cities including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Sikar, and Jhunjhunu. Simultaneous raids were also conducted in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and parts of Delhi. The crackdown is being executed under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The Red Nexa Evergreen project reportedly lured investors with promises of high returns or property allocations — either flats, land, or premium rates after a fixed tenure. Allegations suggest that a significant number of investors were duped in the process. Rajasthan Police had earlier registered an FIR against multiple individuals involved in the fraudulent scheme. The ED's investigation aims to uncover the financial trail and identify key beneficiaries of the scam. More details are expected to emerge as the search operations continue. Around 24 places are being raided in Rajasthan and Gujarat and Delhi. The investors in this project were lured to invest their money till a particular time and told that they can get plots and flats in return for their investments. However investors were duped as none of the promises were allegedly fulfilled. In the end the frustrated investors filed many FIRs in this regard. The raids have been conducted keeping money laundering in mind, said officials. Once the search operation is done, action will be taken against those involved in the fraud. Rajasthan police were acting in the matter till now, however now that the ED has come into the picture, fresh facts are expected to come out soon in the case, said sources.
