Coal-gate: Inter-ministerial report out today
September 10, 2012  09:50
The Inter-Ministerial Group is likely to submit its report to the coal ministry on Monday. 

The panel has reviewed the progress of coal blocks that were allocated to private firms without auction. 

Many of these private companies have alleged links to politicians and their relatives. 

The coal ministry is also preparing a response to counter the charges that were made by the national auditor in its report on the coal allocations, say sources.

After submitting the report to the coal ministry on Monday, it will be forwarded to the Prime Minister's Office before September 15.

The IMG meeting took place in the backdrop of Comptroller and Auditor General or the CAG estimating undue advantage to private companies to the extent of Rs. 1.86 lakh crore in the absence of auction.
