			In a significant move to address long-standing pollution concerns, two chimneys at the Kolaghat Thermal Power Station were demolished on April 13, 2025. The controlled implosions marked a pivotal step in the plant's environmental mitigation efforts, though the future operational status of remaining units remains unclear at this stage.<ref>{{cite web \| last=Ananda \| first=ABP \| title=দূষণের জের, কোলাঘাটে ভেঙে ফেলা হল তাপবিদ্যুৎ কেন্দ্রের ২টি চিমনি \| website=Bengali News, Bangla News, Breaking News in Bangla, Latest Bangla News, বাংলা খবর, বাংলার আজকের খবর, ABP Bengali, এবিপি আনন্দ - ABP Ananda \| date=2025-04-13 \| url=https://bengali.abplive.com/district/east-midnapore-kolaghat-thermal-power-station-2-chimneys-were-demolished-1130199 \| language=bn \| access-date=2025-06-19}}</ref>
