Key Coalgate files missing

The Coalgate scandal stormed back into the spotlight with the coal ministry acknowledging that crucial files relating to the controversial allocation of coal blocks may have been lost for good and the opposition attacking the government.
The missing documents include the report of Coal India Ltd’s financial experts on the 35th screening committee’s meeting on allocations made in 2007 when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held charge of the coal portfolio.
It dealt with the financial aspects of the projects for which blocks were allocated and could throw light on whether the mines were given to the deserving.
