Great work indeed. As we all know the strength of our state is natural resources . Unfortunatey, mines of our state is being exploited by private parties who contribute nothing towards peripheral development or our state development fund. Recently was apalled to hear that the highest tax payer of India is a miner from Odisha whose name is some Ahluwalia. Mr Ahluwali has not contributed a single penny to CM’s relief fund, let alone development of local areas. We need to stop this. We need to protect our mines for our future generation. Need to generate awareness.The loot must stop as there s no transparency. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
