Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has lashed out at the Centre over the non-payment for coal mining dues. Soren demanded the Centre to pay ₹1.36 lakh crore. He even threatened to shut coal companies and put barricades around them. Soren has also written a letter to Coal and Mines Minister Pralhad Joshi over non-payment of dues. However, the Centre has yet to respond to Soren's letter. Jharkhand is a mineral-rich state and its revenue depends on revenue generated from them. Watch this video for more.
