The iron ore excavation underway at Surjagarh has been facing stiff opposition from locals and opposition leaders since two months. Locals say that the locals are not getting any benefit of the mining as the ore is transported to Bhandara, where a steel plant is located. They are demanding that a sponge iron project be set up in Gadchiroli district itself, so that locals get employment.
