Former Meghalaya CM flags off coal-related illegalities

Shillong, Oct 22 (UNI) Former Chief Minister and currently leader of Opposition in Meghalaya, Dr Mukul Sangma has flagged off, what he termed as “illegalities” in the transportation of coal, even as he maintained that there was “no question of having any unclaimed coal” in the State.
“Public auction means everybody has to know. It is an open sale where the particular thing that is being auctioned is awarded to the highest bidder," Sangma told reporters while inspecting the coal auction site at Nengkra in East Garo Hills district on Thursday.
"In order to ensure that you have the highest bidder, you have to have, substantial time given for likely interested parties to come and participate, so that the maximum prices are realized and you get the highest bidder. Interestingly, here the price which was awarded is below Rs. 2000, Rs 1400-1500 per MT,” he said, citing a particular example.
