Singareni Colleries

Colleries means a coal mine and all the infrastructure that is part of it, and Singareni Colleries refers to the collieries located at Singareni. The Singareni Collieries Company was named after it. However after Hyderabad state was merged into India, the name of the town was changed to Yellandu and the Singareni Colleries railway station was neglected.
