    Its all political drama. Do you think these CBI officers are not corrupt. They are more corrupt because they handle sensational and mysterious cases. CBI is one of the most corrupt institution India. When other officers loyalty can be bought for thousands and lakhs, these CBI officers loyalty is sold for crores. Thats the difference.

    Can you imagine we are giving our natural resource to other countries to manufacture steel, thereby we are responsible for creating job Opportunities for other countries,and unemployment in our own place.

    Hi Raazik, WHAT SHAHABBAS? A hindi proverb suits here " HAATI (ELEPHANT)GAYEE TO KOYEE BAATH NAHI POONCH(TAIL)PAKADTHE HAIN". TRUCK OWNERS OVERLOAD IRON ORE & CARRY . DUE TO THIS ALL OUR ROADS & ENVIRONMENT GOT SPOILED. EVERYDAY TRUCKS CARRYING IRON ORE KILLS INNOCENT PEOPLE ON ROAD. TRUCK OWNERS NEVER INSTALL SPEED GOVERNOR. WHO IS GOING TO CATCH TRUCK OWNERS?

    First of all we should stop selling iron ore as it is not really making profit to any one except the mining owners, instead of that we should use the ore and prepare steel and that steel has to be exported.Our karnataka govt is running due to reddy bro''s who own these mining companies.

    Dear Mr. Ram Bhat,uppinangady, for your kind information in sandal wood case no customs officials were involved. After the container was sealed by the Cutoms, it is said to have been opened by breaking the hinges with the customs seal intact.

    CBI officials handed over the details of the investigation to NMPT. So there is no expectations from NMPT that it will take action against the said officials. Matter is closed!!!!.
