Use of creepers should also be explored in consultation with the Forest Department (ii) It was noted that the coal is lifted from the ships by crane, dropped into the hoppers, and conveyed through closed conveyor to the coal stock yard. The conveyor is seamless without joints/transfer points. (iii) It is noted from the photographs presented by the Project Proponent that though three layers of plantation have been provided at the stock yard, there are some gaps between the trees.
