PoliticsCoal Minister Calls Bengal Coal Sector 'Jungle Raj', Promises Reforms
Coal Minister G. Kishan Reddy, visiting West Bengal, stated that the coal sector in Bengal has been under 'jungle raj' for years, controlled by illegal miners and mafias. He said the central government is implementing reforms to bring transparency, curb illegal activities, and ensure mining revenue reaches the state treasury. Despite mining impacts, coal stock in India remains sufficient.
