The New Indian Express reported that the CBI team that investigated iron ore exports by the Obulapuram Mining Company owned by Mr Gali Janardhan Reddy through the Krishnapatnam Port has reportedly found several irregularities.
According to sources, it found that 2,000 trucks ferried ore from Obulapuram in Anantapur district to the port in Nellore district daily, each carrying 40 tonnes to 55 tonnes of ore as against the permitted load of 15 tonnes.
However, CBI officials were tight lipped on how many companies were involved in iron ore export from Krishnapatnam between 2007 and 2009 and what OMC’s share was. They simply said investigation is complete and a charge sheet would be filed in a day or two.
It is learnt that the CBI found that 4.2 million tonnes of ore was exported from the port by 80 companies since 2007 but only 1.4 million tonnes was recorded.
It seized some crucial documents during its visit to the customs office after questioning its assistant commissioner Mr K Ranga Rao.
Not satisfied with the answers given by the port authorities, the CBI has issued notices seeking a written reply.
