Deputy CM Prestone Tynsong says govt. cannot be blamed for illegal activity
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Meghalaya has stepped up its attack on the Conrad K. Sangma government for “patronising” illegal coal mining and transportation in the State.
After former Chief Minister Mukul M. Sangma, who joined the TMC with 11 other Congress MLAs in November 2021, TMC legislator Marthon Sangma said the government was misusing various departments to make money and denying revenue to the State.
“Coal extracted illegally from Meghalaya is being passed off as coal from Assam and exported to Bangladesh. While Assam is getting revenue, a nexus of officials and traders is making money in Meghalaya,” the MLA, who represents the Mendipathar Assembly constituency, told journalists on January 18.
