The Meghalaya unit of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has said it has hard evidence of illegal mining and transportation of coal to prove the State government has been turning a blind eye to the issue.
The party also said the Centre should take cognisance of the illegal activities as coal is not a state subject. State TMC leader and former Chief Minister Mukul M. Sangma said the cases of illegal mining and transportation of coal was just the tip of the iceberg.
He said his party was armed with videos on ongoing illegal mining and loading of coal. “We will give such evidence to the government to take cognisance of the illegalities,” he added.
