Panchayat laws do not apply to us, says officials of Coal India!

Jang Sai Koya from Bharat Jan Andolan in Surguja in Chhattisgarh says South Eastern Coalfield Ltd has started work on a coal mine called Mahan-2 without any Gram Sabha clearance. When we went to ask about it they filed a case of Rs 37 lakhs against us saying we have harmed the work of the mines. Now in the case when we asked for a copy of Gram Sabha resolution they have said that Panchayat acts do not apply on them! These officers of Coal India should be penalised.
