Mining scam

The final paragraph refers to a "mining scam". This was not what I would call a scam (though the word may be used differently in Indian English). The iron ore and other minerals were genuinely extracted, transported, and sold to willing buyers. However all this was done without the proper government permits and levies, improper permits being obtained by corruption. Maproom (talk) 09:10, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
