    Coal pilferage is a main business in Asansol and Raniganj belt where the looted booty is shared from top to bottom. The pad system of operation causing several thousand crores of loss to the ministry of coal. Political bigwigs of ruling and opposition all in-hand glove with the local coal mafia with patronage of political leaders. Only once the Ministry of coal or finance involved then this menace will stop. The coal mafia would never shy away from showering huge cash to all those conducting raid. In a corrupt country like ours everything gets settled under table or let’s say at the corrupt judiciary level. Hence my advice is just concentrate on yoir work and stop inviting trouble for yourself as well as your family. In twin towns Asansol and Raniganj life can be taken away with a 375 ml bottle of liquor and one bullet worth 80rs.
    The reason why we call our nation great is because it gives freedom to everyone carry on illegal activities and loot the nation.
    Cheers and happy Diwali in advance
