NEWS FLASH

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said that he is ready for a discussion on the floor of the House and respond to the Opposition charges on the recent report by the national auditor that says the country lost Rs. 1.86 lakh crore because coal fields were given too cheaply to private and state-run firms.

From 2005 to 2009, 142 coal fields were allotted, instead of being auctioned. For a part of this period, the PM held direct charge of the Coal Ministry.

Both Houses of Parliament were today adjourned after the BJP created a storm over the coal-gate issue.
