The steel companies urged the state government to facilitate lease of iron ore mines to them in tune with the MoUs signed for establishment of steel mills. They even suggested the state government to ban or restrict export of raw materials to other states and abroad.
The state government should evolve a mechanism to regulate the rate of iron ore and chrome ore, president of All Orissa Steel Federation P L Khandoi, who also heads the Kalinga Nagar Industries Association.
