NDTV
A large portion of coal mining in mineral-rich Jharkhand is done by a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, or CIL, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has asked the centre to clear what he claims is a Rs 1.36 lakh crore due for mining by government firms. He had raised this issue in the state assembly too. Inspite of repeated consultations held with @CoalMinistry & @NITIAayog regarding non payment of long standing legitimate dues of Rs 1.36 lakh crores related to mining done by Central PSUs, Govt of India has paid no heed so far. I have written to @JoshiPralhad'ji in this regard. pic.twitter.com/VcSReuyQaa
In a tweet, Mr Soren said he has written to Coal and Mines Minister Pralhad Joshi to remind about the payment.
"In spite of repeated consultations held with the Coal Ministry and NITI Aayog regarding non-payment of long-standing legitimate dues of Rs 1.36 lakh crores related to mining done by central PSUs (public sector undertakings), government of India has paid no heed so far. I have written to Pralhad Joshi ji in this regard," Mr Soren tweeted, along with the letter.
A large portion of coal mining in mineral-rich Jharkhand is done by a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, or CIL. "These coal companies are not paying legitimate demand of revenue to the state, resulting in huge dues to the state from these companies," the Chief Minister said in the letter.
