 TURA: The United A’chik Youth Federation (UANF) from South West Khasi Hills has questioned the inaction by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) against its earlier demand for investigation into the coal auction order allegedly issued by the ADC of Ranikor Civil Sub-Division.

In a statement issued here on Monday, Sanggra Marak, the President of the federation claimed that as per the order, the actual amount of coal available for auction had been falsified. According to Marak, a complaint on the matter was filed by the federation to the Chairman of the NGT on December 7 last year, but no action had been taken till date.

“We want to ask how a completely unreal and fabricated figure of the quantity of coal could be brought to auction when in reality it doesn’t exist. This clearly indicates the existence and practice of rat-hole mining even after prohibition has been imposed over it by the Supreme Court. This also shows that fresh mining is being done to balance off the quantity mentioned in the order,” Marak alleged.

Warning that the federation was ready to take further course of action, Marak made a fresh demand that action be taken on the matter and a probe initiated by the NGT as early as possible.
