Controversy Unveiled: Basalt Extraction at Deocha Pachami Coal Mine Under Scrutiny

The CPI(M) has intensified its demands for a judicial probe into the tendering process of the Deocha Pachami coal mine's basalt extraction project, claiming negligence and irregularities.

During a press conference, CPI(M) West Bengal secretary Mohammed Salim highlighted the BJP government's silence on environmental clearances and the involvement of inexperienced companies.

Salim urged for a pause in project activities until transparency and accountability are ensured through a judicial investigation, emphasizing that the project is mired in mystery and procedural inconsistencies.
