SHILLONG, Sep 20: The Coal Controller of India has submitted before the High Court of Meghalaya that a high-level committee has been constituted to look into the allegations that illegally-mined coal in Meghalaya has been shown to be coal that originated in Assam by forging and fabricating documents and seeking to export such coal to a neighbouring country.
The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by Champer M Sangma, a coal exporter.
Earlier, the petitioner had alleged that documents may have been manufactured, inter alia, by the state for transportation of coal allegedly brought from Assam and originally meant for export to Bangladesh. The court had ordered the state government to file a preliminary report indicating how the coal that was said to be dumped at Gasuapara land custom station in South Garo Hills came into the state, with proof of the entry of the material into the state and the origin of the coal.
