A team of the Justice MB Shah Commission, probing illegal mining scam in different states, will re-visit Odisha from October 31, sources said.
The commission has concluded its second round of inquiry in Odisha on October 11. UV Singh, IFS officer from Karnataka and a member of the team, said they had examined 81 of the 186 mines for which the state government has submitted files before it during its nine-day stay here.
“All files could not be completed because of the complications involved in such an inquiry. Those would be taken up during the commission's third trip slated from Oct 31 to Nov 11,” a source said.
Panel will then move to Keonjhar district to proceed their probe. Sources say that over all condition is critical in the state, any negative report from the commission will hit hard mining industry in Odisha.
