With deep grief and sorrow, we inform the passing of Mr. Mrinal Kanti Chakrabarti, our beloved colleague, who left for his heavenly abode on 18th March 2026.
Late Mr. Chakrabarti was a kind-hearted and principled individual, whose life was guided by strong values, humility, and compassion. A Chartered Accountant by profession, he began his career with Coal India Limited in 1977 at Samla Colliery under ECL and later moved to the CIL Headquarters in Kolkata in 1982. He retired in 2007 after nearly three decades of dedicated service. He was deeply respected by all who knew him and will be fondly remembered for his warmth, wisdom, and gracious nature.
In this moment of profound loss, we stand with the bereaved family and extend our heartfelt condolences. May God grant them strength to bear this irreparable loss.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
