Joda received a tipoff about some suspicious activities happening at the Khandabandha mines in Keonjhar district. Acting swiftly, officials from the district Mining department swiftly took action and seized eight trucks that were found to be carrying illegal cargo. These vehicles were transporting iron ore lumps, instead of the permitted iron ore fines, which goes against the established norms. The mines are owned by the Odisha Mining Corporation and the trucks were intercepted at the Nayagarh weighbridge station.
An investigation has been launched to determine how these trucks were allowed to transport the illegal cargo. The officials are determined to get to the bottom of this matter and hold those responsible accountable. It is believed that the trucks were transporting the iron ore lumps to a godown owned by a West Bengal-based company named 'Dhanbad Fuels'. The mining Department official, when approached for comment, revealed that the permission granted for transportation from Khandabandha mines was only for iron ore fines. Therefore, it was a clear violation of rules for the trucks to be carrying iron ore lumps.
This incident has raised concerns about the integrity of the mining industry and the need for stricter regulations to prevent such illegal activities. It is the responsibility of the authorities to ensure that all rules and regulations are followed to maintain the integrity of the mining sector. The authorities are determined to take necessary action and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
