Former Minister Urges CM to Address Illegal Mining in Sukinda

A former minister in Odisha, Pritiranjan Gharai, has written to the Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, about illegal chromite mining in the Sukinda Valley.

He says the mining is causing big problems.

Houses are cracking because of blasting, and dirty water from the mines is making the soil and water dirty.

This is making people sick with skin diseases and breathing problems.

The minister wants the government to investigate and stop the illegal mining.

He also wants the affected families to be compensated.

The mining companies and authorities have not responded yet.
