Once the situation in the state and the central government has started to create a conflict regarding the coal block in the Sadve region. The Center has recently issued notification for acquisition of land under the Coal Bearing Act for the Madanpur South coal block allotted to Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation (APMDC). Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has written a letter to the Center expressing its objection. He has said that the elephant sanctuary will not be obstructed.
Earlier, in the Hasdev Aranya and Lemru Elephant Sanctuary, the central government had allocated four coal blocks Madanpur North, Morga-To, Shyang and Morga South. These too had to be canceled due to the objection of the state government. Chief Minister Baghel, who arrived at Korba stay, performed Bhoomi Pujan and inaugurated development works worth 836 crore.
During this, he said that the central government has allotted coal blocks in Hasdev Aranya region. As soon as the information was received, it was informed to the Center by writing a letter that an elephant sanctuary is proposed to be built in this area, so it has been requested to cancel the allotted block. We worry about the ongoing conflict between elephants and humans. A way will be found soon for this.
Forest dwellers will not be affected by the sanctuary, villagers’ houses will not be removed. Their forest produce will also be purchased. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel named the new medical college to be opened in Korba, the late Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Dr. Charan Das Mahant. Announced to be named after Bisahudas Mahant.
Along with this, the name of Bhaisma Government College is the Deputy Chief Minister of undivided Madhya Pradesh. Has announced to name Pyarelal Kanwar. The Chief Minister said that FCI was not taking rice, this slowed down the pace of paddy procurement. I talked to the Union Food Minister, the Home Minister and the Prime Minister about it, the deadlock has been partially overcome. It has been approved to buy 24 lakh metric tons of rice, but our agreement was made of 60 lakh metric tons.
