"You are requested... To find out the legality of the transaction before it is suppressed by interested mining mafias operating in the area in collusion with the state mining officials as reported in the Justice M B Shah enquiry report earlier," Oram wrote to Tomar in a letter, a copy of which was released to press today.
Oram, who represents Sundergarh in the Lok Sabha, in his letter pointed out that local villagers on October 5 detected stacking of huge quantity of iron ore at Rengra Railway siding site and informed the matter to the local deputy director, Mining (DDM).
Asked about the illegal stacking of iron ore, Sundergarh District Collector Bhupinder Singh Poonia said "Action will certainly be taken against the persons involved in the incident if any illegality is found."
The matter came to light after some villagers and labourers informed the local BJP unit about stacking of huge quantity of iron ore at the railway siding.
