The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a preliminary enquiry against unknown officials of the JSW Steel Limited and the Environment and Forest Ministry for alleged diversion of forest land for mining purposes in Jharkhand.
“A PE has been instituted to probe alleged irregularities in the grant of approval ignoring the previous reservation and an attempt to circumvent the due process for diversion of forest land for mining purposes in Ankua Reserve Forest in Jharkhand,” said a CBI official, adding that the approval was granted in 2013.
On October 24, the CBI initiated a preliminary enquiry into alleged diversion of Saranda forest in Jharkhand for mining purposes. In response, a JSPL spokesperson said: “We have only come to know of the preliminary enquiry through media reports. JSPL reiterates that we have always cooperated with the investigative agencies and will respond when we receive these queries from the investigative authorities.”
