According to the report, the CBI has questioned a former top Odisha bureaucrat in connection with the coal block allocation scam and asked him to explain why the Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik wrote to then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2005 pitching for a coal block to be allotted to Hindalco Industries.
Based on the Chief Minister’s letter, NLC’ s allocation was cancelled and the coal block was allocated to Hindalco.
