Odisha government asks Centre to resolve MCL land oustees problems
BHUBANESHWAR: With over 1600 land oustees waiting for jobs and another 5000 affected people need to be resettled by the Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), the state government has asked the Union Coal Ministry to resolve these issues in a time bound manner.
Though MCL, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has increased the cash compensation in lieu of employment from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 16 lakh, the offer is not acceptable to land oustees. The affected families are persistent in their demand for jobs.

The failure of the MCL to provide job to the land oustees and resettlement of the displaced families have been triggering public protests and economic blockade hampering production and despatch of coal from Talcher area.
Senior officials of the Coal Ministry expressed concern over the frequent disruption in coal production at a recent meeting with Chief Secretary A P Padhi here at the state secretariat.
