India Gali bought company awarded mining lease in 2002: Naidu
Telugu Desam Party President N Chandrababu Naidu today claimed that Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) promoter and Karnataka Tourism minister Galli Janardhan Reddy, was originally not involved in the company, which had been awarded lease for mining iron ore during the previous TDP regime. The then TDP government had given the mining lease to a company floated by one Rammohan Reddy. Subsquently, Mr Janardhan Reddy had bought that company, the former Chief Minister told a press conference here. Only under the Rajasekhara Reddy regime, the OMC had got a ''most-favoured'' treatment on the pretext that OMC had applied for mining lease for captive use for its proposed steel plant. Earlier applicants, who had applied for mining license, were denied license in violation of the Mining Act, he contended. Enjoying ''political patronage,'' the OMC had dared to encroach into neighbouring mines, crossed village and state boundaries and even mined in prohibited reserve forest area, Mr Naidu alleged. The OMC had blasted the historic Sugalamma temple and the GTS station, which had been confirmed by a high-level team of Karnataka state, to mine high grade iron ore in its vicinity, which was a non-allotted area, he charged. The Congress Government, while promulgating Government Orders 151 and 152, did not specify the condition of captive mining though it eliminated others on the ground, he said. He claimed that the then Rajasekhara Reddy government had also sanctioned non-notified virgin areas of H Siddapuram village to OMC allegedly in gross violation of the Mining Act. He alleged that transit permits were issued by the Mining department in 2007 without mandatory permission from the State Pollution Control Board. -- (UNI) -- 19MS29.xml
