SHILLONG, JULY 19: The Meghalaya High Court on Tuesday directed the state government to file a preliminary report into transportation of coal in South Garo Hills.
In its order, the two-member bench said, “The matter will appear ten days hence for a preliminary report to be filed by the State, indicating how the coal that was said to be dumped at Gasuapara in the South Garo Hills came into the State, with proof of the entry of the material into the State and the origin of the coal.”
This was after a PIL filed by one Champer M. Sangma against the state government.
According to the petitioner, 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 next hearing on the matter will be held on August 2.
