INDIA bloc parties announce Odisha Assembly ‘gherao’ on Sept. 29 over new mining law
INDIA bloc parties announced a gherao of the Odisha Assembly on September 29 to protest against the Centre's new mining law, which they allege prevents mineral-rich states like Odisha from recovering previously uncollected taxes, cess, and arrears worth lakhs of crores of rupees. The opposition claims the legislation undermines state fiscal autonomy and revenue rights over mineral resources. This development highlights Centre-state financial relations and mineral governance issues, making it highly relevant for polity, economy, and current affairs sections in competitive exams.
