‘Loopholes’ left in amended coal mines law to favour Adani: Cong

The Congress on Wednesday alleged that ”loopholes” have been left withinside the amended Coal Mines Act to favour the Adani group. The Opposition birthday birthday celebration made the allegation in its each day posers to the authorities published on Twitter as a part of its ”Hum Adani ke Hain Kaun” series. ”So extra skeletons are tumbling out of the Modani coal cupboard. Here is HAHK (Hum Adani ke Hain Kaun)-19,” Congress preferred secretary Jairam Ramesh stated on Twitter and requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the ”Adani coal scam”. He alleged that the authorities surpassed the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act on March 20, 2015, to put in force the Supreme Court`s choice to cancel and public sale earlier coal mine allocations. ”However Section 11(1) of the Act introduced a handy loophole via way of means of allowing a brand new concessionaire to hold mining contracts signed via way of means of the preceding allottee. This caused the reappointment of the Adani Group via way of means of BJP country governments as mine developer and operator (MDO) for 2 mines, such as the Parsa East and Kente Basan coal block in Chhattisgarh on March 26, 2015,” Ramesh alleged.
