Mandya: Taking a dig at the Department of Mines and Geology, Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambarish took the officials to task for not collecting Rs. 1,200 crore Royalty due to the State Government from the district mining companies for the last so many years.
Talking to reporters after holding a meeting with Officials at the DC office here yesterday, she said prima facie, it looks dereliction of duty on the part of the Department officers as they have not made efforts to collect the dues from the mining companies.
