CAG raps Karnataka for failing to grant mining leases to steel mills
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has rapped the Karnataka government for its failure to initiate any time-bound action plan to monitor the implementation of the Karnataka Mineral Policy (KMP), 2008.
“Even after a lapse of three years of formation of the committee under the chairmanship of secretary, commerce and industries department, the government of Karnataka has not formulated any time-bound action plan to monitor the implementation of the KMP so that the desired objectives of the policy are achieved in a time-bound manner,” CAG said in its latest report, ‘Controls and Systems for Sustainable Mining in Karnataka.’
