Bagrodia clears confusion over new coal distribution policy
The new Union minister of state for coal, Santosh Bagrodia, did a U-turn on Saturday to clarify that the government does not want to overhaul the new coal distribution policy now being rolled out. "The new policy is a well framed policy and we will work under the broad guidelines of it,' Bagrodia said. On Friday, at his first interaction with a city chamber and the media, Bagrodia had made some statements implying that the policy, launched in October 2007, would be turned on its head.
