Petlawad : Contract of Pappu Construction Company has been suspended with regards to the lackadaisical attitude it has adopted with regards to mining activities.

The private contractors at the Kelkuan rock phosphate mines have been digging it since the year 2005. The directorate of mining definitely has asked for the mining activity to be stopped since the mines did not have a first class engineer.

Even the mining corporation did not have a first class engineer. On the other hand the mining company known as Pappu construction definitely itself admitted that rules and regulations laid by the government have been compromised as far as the mining part is concerned.

The Kelkuan rock phosphate mines are spread around in an area of 37.7 hectares and an MOU of the mining corporation has been signed, which has a mention of rules and regulations. The rules and regulations state that the company will have to mine 1 lakh 50 thousand metric tonnes of rock phosphate. However the contractors were never ever able to do so for the past nine years.

They had to construct benches on priority basis, but the contractors were so busy saving costs that they dropped the idea of build them. And the officers too did not take objection to the same.

As a result the contractors have dug out the area in such a manner that it has posed great danger for the people who work over there.

The security concerns have been mocked by the contractors such as the Pappu construction company. No sirens have been raised in the region during the blasting process.

Amount worth crores have been dispatched to by the mining department to Pappu Construction Company, but the company has been giving low results as far as mining is concerned. The company has liasoned with the officers of the mining department to show the rocks mined by the company as good phosphate density causing a loss worth millions to the ex chequer.   Last year the mining department found various irregularities in the mining process, because of which the works of the company was stopped and its contract was suspended.
