Former Coal Secretary P.C. Parakh’s book ‘The Coal Conundrum’ was released here on Saturday by former Chief Vigilance Commissioner P. Shanker and former RBI Governor Y.V. Reddy.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Parakh said not opening the coal sector for commercial mining resulted in increasing dependence on imported coal. As a result, the Indian companies were forced to acquire expensive coal properties abroad.

Mr. Shanker wondered why the Rs.1.86 lakh crore involved in the coal scam some years ago was not recovered. Former media advisor to the Prime Minister Sanjaya Baru too spoke on the occasion.
