Transporter accuses his drivers of coal theft, complains in police station

Bilaspur: Theft and adulteration of coal extracted from the mine is going on with the connivance of illegal coal depot operators and drivers. In a similar case, a transporter has again filed a complaint against two of his drivers.

According to Ratanpur Police, there are two trailers in the name of the wife of transporter Pankaj Singh Gandhi. One of these is run by Amit Oraon of Jharkhand and the other by Amit Sharma of Bihar. On November 28, both the trailers left the Chirmiri mine to load 35-35 tonnes of coal and take it to the factory. But they dumped coal in an illegally operated coal depot at Mohtarai near Ratanpur and in return unloaded sawdust and inferior coal in the factory. The transporter got this information from the factory operator. Then he lodged a report at Ratanpur police station. Both the drivers have fled leaving the trailer.
