Senior Congress legislator Ajit Jogi on Tuesday alleged
that the government was trying to hide facts about Durg-based underconstrcution
JK Laxmi cement plant incident by announcing probe into it through ADG level
officer of Economic Offence Wing (EOW).
“The government was expected to conduct
judicial probe into the matter but it has decided to hand it over to EOW’s ADG
level officer. Certainly, it does not want disclose facts,” Jogi said.
He charged that the government had
narrowed down gamut of the probe by selecting just a few points.
“To elicit facts, the inquiring officer
should consider almost all aspects of the incident like – on whose directive
the plant location was changed from Semaria to Malpuri Khurd, which government
official issued construction orders after location of the plant changed, was
labour department aware that the plant had hired outsider labourers, if the
plant’s machineries were insured then the name of insurance company should be
made public and what information did Central excise department had regarding
value of plant’s machineries,” he said.
Jogi alleged that the incident took place
due to conspiracy of plant management and ruling party’s corrupt leaders.
“Chhattisgarh’s labourers are peaceful and hardworking and they give shape to
such incident. It is also evident from media reports that innocent villagers
are being implicated in false case and consequently several villagers have
migrated,” he said.
