Congress' Gaurav Gogoi seeks SIT probe in Assam mining tragedy in letter to PM Modi

The Hindu  

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Saturday said he has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking a SIT probe into the mining tragedy in Assam, which left four labourers in a coal quarry dead. He also alleged that "illegal mining continues unchecked" due to "weak law enforcement and local complicity" in the northeastern state. "As of today, rescue operations have entered their sixth day, but the fate of coal miners trapped in the illegal coal mine at Dima Hasao remains uncertain. Illegal mining continues unchecked in Assam, fuelled by weak law enforcement and local complicity," said the Congress' deputy leader in the Lok Sabha.
