State govt seeks policy on iron ore

In order to ensure even distribution of raw materials for steel industry across states in the country, the West Bengal government demanded a national policy on iron-ore, on the lines of the coal policy from the centre. Call for such a policy comes while the steel industry face problems over supply of iron ore. The state government expects such a policy to ensure that iron ore from states like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh will be distributed equitably across India.
