Mines Ministry urges Telangana to auction six mineral blocks by June 30; otherwise, Centre may take over.

The Mines Ministry has urged the Telangana government to auction six mineral blocks by June 30, after failing to auction any in the past nine years. Geological reports for eleven mineral blocks, including five iron ore mines, five limestone blocks, and one manganese block, have been submitted to the state government. The Centre warns that it may take over the auction process if the state fails to meet the deadline.
