The association leaders including its president, Balen Thubru, and Secretary, Justine Phawa, met the District Mineral Officer on Thursday and apprised him about the issue. “The officer informed us that the transit challan has already been issued to five highest bidders and they have also paid the amount three months ago,” they said.
