In a significant victory for Rajasthan, the Supreme Court has directed Chhattisgarh to retain its mining rights after a decade-long legal battle. With this, the uncertainties hovering over the Parsa East Kanta Basan (PEKB) mine of state-run Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) in Surguja district of Chhattisgarh have ended.

The Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra said in the judgment delivered on October 16, 2023, “The disposal of the civil appeal and the special leave petition is done as per the signed order. The pending applications, if any, are disposed of.” The Supreme Court refused to interfere with the permission given by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the State of Chhattisgarh, due to which there is now no legal crisis on continuing mining in the second phase of the PEKB mine.

Sudeep Srivastava said in the case filed through lawyer Prashant Bhushan that, this result will make it easier to supply cheap coal to the power generation projects of Rajasthan. In 2007, the Coal Ministry allotted the PEKB mine to RRVUNL. However, five years later, in 2012, he challenged the regulatory permissions granted by competent state and central government agencies. The legal dispute has hit RRVUNL’s investment of Rs 40,000 crore to commission 4340 MW power generation capacity and enable the network which was dependent on coal from this mine.

The biodiversity study in the entire Hasdeo Arand Forest area was conducted by the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education in compliance with the directions passed by the National Green Tribunal. Based on the Biodiversity Assessment Report of July 2021 of the Council and the recommendations of the Forest Advisory Committee of December 2021, the Ministry of Environment had approved Phase-II mining operations for PEKB Coal Mine on February 2, 2022. According to the above approval of the Environment Ministry, the Government of Chhattisgarh had also given permission for coal mining in the PEKB mine on March 25, 2022.

The Supreme Court agreed with the contention of the counsel for RRVUNL that since the above orders have been issued by the MoEF&CC and the State of Chhattisgarh as a result of the order of the National Green Tribunal, the reason given in the proceedings was not tenable.

Know what is PEKB mine

PEKB mine is considered one of the best operated mines of India. It has been awarded the highest five-star rating by the Ministry of Coal since 2019 for excellence in operations, environment, safety, rehabilitation and resettlement. RRVUNL has developed a model mine and has invested heavily in community centric initiatives for education and empowerment, skill development, health care, women cooperative and rural infrastructure around the PEKB mine. The PEKB mine is directly and indirectly providing livelihood to 5000 families in the backward Surguja district along with royalty and other taxes worth crores of rupees to the state and central governments.

We do not want to come in the way of development – ​​Supreme Court

RRVUNL has already completed coal mining in the first phase and is seeking additional land from the Government of Chhattisgarh for mining in the next phase as per regulatory approval. Earlier in December 2022, in another case related to RRVUNL’s Parsa mine in Chhattisgarh, the Supreme Court bench of Justices BR Gavai and Vikram Nath had cleared the way, saying “We do not want to come in the way of development And we are very clear on this. We will determine your rights under the law, but not at the expense of development. “We will not stop any project unless the illegality is clearly egregious.” With the favorable judgments of the apex court, the hurdles have been removed for RRVUNL to proceed with mining at both PEKB mine and Parsa mine to meet the energy requirements of Rajasthan.

During this, he handed over the demand letter regarding the construction of Chirmiri-Nagpur Halt Rail Line, the much awaited demand of lakhs of people of rural area Kharagwan including Chirmiri-Manendragarh.

Jaiswal said that the process of land acquisition for this approved railway line has not been done by the state government till date, and due to the budget amounting to Rs 120 crore 50 lakh not being provided for the state share, there is a lot of delay in the completion of this important project. Already happened. For this project, the MLA has asked the Chief Minister to start the land acquisition process immediately and has requested to release the state share in the upcoming budget.

Raipur. Senior BJP MLA and former minister Brijmohan Aggarwal has launched a scathing attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s launch of a crowd funding campaign in the name of ‘Donate for the country’. He has also called this a campaign of looting policy of Congress. Brijmohan Aggarwal said that in this campaign of Congress, donations will be collected from workers and countrymen. Congress leaders are calling it inspired by the Tilak Swaraj Fund of 1921, whereas the amount donated by Tilak Swaraj Fund was used to fight the British rule.

Brijmohan Aggarwal said that by linking this campaign of collecting funds for the party in the name of the country with Tilak Swaraj Fund, Congress has shown its disgusting political mentality. Congressmen have absolutely no right to insult Lokmanya Tilak and his Swaraj campaign.

He said that the aim of Congress has always been that money should come at some cost. After filling the coffers of Congress by looting Chhattisgarh, Congress is now using Karnataka as its ATM. After this, Congress is going to implement the same policy of plunder and plunder in Telangana also. The Congress which has corruption in its DNA, has no shortage of money. The recovery of crores of rupees of black money from the house of Congress MP Dheeraj Sahu has made it clear how much loot the Congress leaders had committed while in power! In fact, all the Congress leaders have filled their own pockets, hence now the Congress people have come up with this idea of ​​looting the workers and the people of the country in the name of the country.

Brijmohan Aggarwal said that after Congress’s defeat in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan after scams worth thousands of crores of rupees, commission embezzlement and looting of government treasury, the ATM of the central leadership of Congress has been closed and Congress is hungry and worried about money. That is why Congress has launched this new variant of looting. Congress is the only solution for the countrymen to escape from this epidemic of corruption.

In which he has demanded to make the biography of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Chhattisgarh creator Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee a part of the text book.

He told that the contribution of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the development of the state should be mentioned in detail. Also, as the creator of the state, it should be made mandatory to put up his picture in all government offices. He further said that in this regard the Chief Minister has assured that all the demands will be fulfilled soon.

Raipur. Munnabhai has been arrested from the recruitment examination of Eklavya Model School of the capital. The vicious accused had come to appear for the recruitment exam with Rs 2 lakh. 12th pass Munnabhai was appearing in the exam in place of a graduate candidate. The issue was revealed when fingerprints were not found during biometric testing. Accused Deepak Kumar is a resident of Hisar district of Haryana. The whole matter is of Amanaka area.

Raipur. Former Chhattisgarh Law Minister Mohammad Akbar had won from the state’s Kawardha Assembly seat in 2018 by a record vote of 59,284, which is the largest margin of victory. This time he lost to BJP’s Vijay Sharma by 39,592 votes. He has expressed doubts about EVMs. He says that there is a lot of uproar regarding EVMs in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He also said, if we raise the issue now, people will question us about the victory of Telangana. During this, he has challenged the allegations made by BJP regarding the settlement of Rohingya Muslims in Kawardha, calling them false.

He said that, in the review meeting with the party high command in Delhi, my colleagues raised the issue of EVM and discussion started on it. We can demand bringing back the ballot papers for the Lok Sabha elections. We also discussed in detail our manifesto and the work done by our government. The leadership has asked us to focus on the Lok Sabha elections. He said that right now he is waiting for the stand of his party leaders on EVMs. Communal politics does not work in the constituency.

He said, I do not want to blame anyone for the defeat. I secured the fourth highest number of votes in the state. This time he got 1.05 lakh votes (in 2018, Akbar got 1.36 lakh votes, while the BJP candidate got 77,000 votes). He also said, in future I will try to explain to the voters that their priorities while voting should be development and brotherhood.

There are allegations of Rohingya Muslims settling in his constituency. To which he said this is just politics. Ask those who are making this allegation to show even one Rohingya Muslim in Kawardha.

This time Congress was expected to get 60-75 seats from Chhattisgarh, but the party was limited to 35 seats. He said that I could not believe that we lost. For the first time, all exit poll predictions for Chhattisgarh turned out to be wrong. There are many reasons for the loss. Our government did many good things like farm loan waiver, universal ration card and paddy procurement, which were the highest in India. Apart from this, our manifesto was better than that of BJP. However they still won. Let’s see if they keep their promises, especially the promise of purchasing up to 21 quintals of paddy at Rs 3100 per quintal.

Be it Saja or Kawardha, BJP carried forward the agenda of Hindutva. It has been alleged that Congress practices appeasement politics. He said, they resort to this false story to win the elections and the same happened this time too.

When asked whether it was a conscious decision of the Congress to remain silent despite BJP leaders using the communal card against you during the campaign, Akbar said, it is better not to react to them. I will not change my style of politics, which is secular. I am confident about my work and do not believe that communal politics will become an issue. After Patan, there was a lot of development in Kawardha. Ultimately it is the people who decide which issue should be given priority.
