Observing that unscrupulous elements may approach licensees for utilising Nagaland coal challans to carry coal extracted from neighbouring States due to restriction imposed by National Green Tribunal (NGT), the circular cautioned not to entertain any such misuse of Nagaland coal challans or counterfeit, fake, duplicate challan using the name of the licensees.
