Member of Parliament said that coal is transported in hundreds of rakes from Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, Bokaro, Ranchi, Chatra etc. areas of Jharkhand, due to which railways are benefitted a lot, but CSR funds are not being spent in these areas.
Chairman Railway Standing Committee and officials of the Railway Board have taken the matter seriously and have shown seriousness in working towards spending the CSR fund for the development of Jharkhand.
