It has also blamed the state wildlife office for being callous in its approach and trying to shift blame to cover its own shortcomings.
MPs unite to oppose Tadoba Mining project
A day after local politicos cutting across party lines came out to support a bandh organised by local NGOs in chandrapur against the mining lease granted to Adani, Vidharba MPs from Congress, BJP & Shiv Sena have written a joint letter to the Prime Minister asking for the mining license to be revoked. A TOI report today spells out names of MPs who have signed the letter. If our Members of Parliament can get together in such fashion more often then a lot of problem that afllict our country can be solved. Recently the issue of widening of Nagpur-Jabalpur highway through Pench Tiger resrerve got highlighted when Rajya sabha MP from Maharashtra Mr Vijay Darda himself wrote to the PM and Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The plan was subsequently dropped. One hopes after the hue and cry raised by local citizes, NGOs and now law makers, the mining lease will be cancelled.
