A day after threatening to put barricades around coal mineral resources in Jharkhand if coal companies do not pay outstanding amounts, chief minister Hemant Soren tweeted a letter written to Union coal minister to clear dues of Rs 1.36 lakh crore on Saturday.
Soren, in a speech during the last day of the budget session of the state Assembly on Friday, had said: “We have demanded payment of Rs 1.36 lakh crore (dues) to the state from the coal companies, and we will take it. This is state’s right, otherwise we will put barricades around coal mineral resources.”
