Bethale Jagathu: Mining Mafia is there any one dare to stop it?

A well framed typical Pratap Simha’s article, search around for information in the internet and frame the article with his opinion – that’s the article.

Pratap Simha states in this article - every tone of iron mined in Bellary is sold at around 7000 out of which Rs – 22 for government, 150 for mining cost and 600 – 700 bribe and transportation cost. Who don’t know this, you talk to some one from those places you will get more details.

When some one gets down in Bellary, one can see young people of age group 15-25 rooming in motor bike with the mobile in hand. According to Pratap Simha they are the informers of mining lords. Pratap Simha you ever seen around your place? It is very common in every part of India where young generation rooming around with motor bike with mobiles in hand – I don’ know what they do? What is so special about young people in Bellary?

Pratap Simha in his conclusion states that Yeddyurappa don’t take any action and states that he imposed 1000 lavvy on mining trucks – but looks like PS forgot all drama between Reddy brothers and Yediurappa.

I too concerned about illegal mining in Bellary –I always believe that it should be good if steel industry could be setup there, so that India can stop sending raw iron ore rather ship steel product. It known fact, any product as raw cost less and as a end product it values high.. This kind of move will bring lot of employment opportunity and profit to the nation.

I don’t know how far this is true with every one – me or you all are concerned about illegal activity (mining) but who has to take action? We talk and criticize then leave it. I can blame media – media can blame politics it never ends. I know just critics about the topic that’s it not more then that. Pratap Simha do you think you will do some thing other then writing this article and forget about this whole story?

The critics will not change the situation – it is about the action to change the things. If political powers are not taking any action then some one else should have to take the action then we can see some result.
