Jharkhand Government Vows Mass Movement Against Central Mining Legislation

Following the swift passage of the Mining and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Jharkhand’s leadership announced a decisive stand. The state argues that the bill curtails the authority of mineral‑rich states to levy taxes on mineral‑laden land, undermining the Supreme Court’s 2024 verdict on fiscal federalism. Soren declared that Jharkhand will not accept any decision made in Delhi that infringes on its rightful claims.
