The BJP has called for a probe into alleged illegal coal extraction activities in Dhanbad, blaming the Soren-led state government.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has publicly accused the Soren administration of facilitating illegal coal extraction in the Dhanbad district of Jharkhand. Party leaders demanded a comprehensive investigation into the alleged activities, citing concerns over environmental damage and loss of revenue.
According to the BJP statement, the illegal mining operations have allegedly been occurring for several years, with local contractors allegedly bypassing state regulations. The party claims that the Soren government has not taken adequate steps to curb the practice.
No official response from the Soren government has been released yet, leaving the allegations unaddressed by the ruling party.
Jharkhand is a major coal-producing state, and Dhanbad is one of its key mining hubs. Illegal mining has long been a challenge, affecting both the economy and the environment in the region.
