Orissa POST
|January 04, 2026
The Jagatsinghpur district mining officer has been suspended on charge of collusion with leaseholders and sand mafia in illegal sand mining.
-
The suspension of Satish Kumar Tarai came 17 days after the Sub-Collector flagged the matter and District Collector J Sonal wrote to the state government seeking action against the officer December 16. The department ordered the suspension Saturday as part of disciplinary proceedings.
In an official order issued under Letter No-96, the state government said the action was taken on the Governor’s directions, as clarified by the additional secretary. During the suspension period, Tarai’s headquarters will be the Directorate of Mines and Geology. He has been barred from leaving the headquarters without prior permission from the competent authority.
