Opposition Mounts Over Tara Coal Block Auction In Chhattisgarh

The auction of the Tara coal block in Chhattisgarh's Hasdeo Aranya region drew strong opposition from political leaders and environmental activists.

Activists warned that clearing dense forests for mining would severely disrupt elephant migratory corridors around the Lemru Elephant Reserve.

The block was awarded to CG Syn-Gas and Chemicals Limited, sparking political debates over previous state government stands against mining.
