J'khand has "no problem" with Mittal's Orissa plans

"He is a global steelmaker and is free to go anywhere, so why should we have a problem," the chief minister said.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda on Friday said that he had no problem with Mittal Steel's decision to set up a steel plant in neighbouring Orissa.

"He is a global steelmaker and is free to go anywhere, so why should we have a problem," the chief minister said.

Asked to comment on Mittal's assertion that work on the 12-million-tonne greenfield plant in Jharkhand was progressing very slowly, Munda said that the state was finalising a rehabilitation policy.

"When it is finalised, the process would gather momentum," he said.
