Arvind accuses My Home Group of illegal mining

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha member Arvind Dharmapuri has urged the Telangana state government to take action to put an end to “illegal mining activities in Telangana” by the My Home Group and respond to the Centre’s notices on the matter.

The BJP leader, who has been pursuing this issue for some months now, on Wednesday took to Twitter to yet again highlight what he described as “lack of action” by the Telangana state government on the My Home Group on the issue of violations relating to mining of limestone.

Calling it “Loot of nation’s mineral wealth by My Home group,” the BJP leader said in his Tweet that he had written a fresh letter to Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar seeking action on the matter.

In his letter on Wednesday, Arvind said the state government had received three notices from the Union mines ministry as well as two from the Centre State Division of the Union home ministry on the illegal mining activities.

The BJP MP questioned the Chief Secretary on the “delay in action or investigation against My Home group for its irregularities and violations of mining in reserve forest area.”

Arvind said that instead of responding to the notices from the Centre, the TS government was considering allocating more lands for mining operations by the company.
