Dhanbad MLA calls off stir over land subsidence, gas leak

Dhanbad: Local MLA Raj Sinha called off his indefinite stir on Saturday after the district administration assured to convene a meeting on May 2 to conduct an in-depth review of the technical aspects of the subsidence zone in Kenduadih.

Until a permanent solution is achieved for Kenduadih, our struggle will continue,” he asserted.
