Iron ore transport at OMC's Suakati
Gandhamardan mines has started today amid police protection. However, hundreds
of local people gathered at the area and opposed the move.
Ore transportation from the
mines has been stopped from March 22 due to the resistance and the district Administration
and Police authorities had decided to open it on 27 continued opposition from
local people lead by social and political leaders have forced the management to
stop it.
The engagement of a contractor with equipment was
essential for smooth and steady operation of the mines. However, we are still
ready to absorb the 400 odd locals who were previously working as manual
labourers,” said Saswat Mishra, chairman-cum-managing director of OMC.
