INDIA-COAL-POLITICS-CORRUPTION
(FILES) In this photograph taken on January 31, 2013, Indian miners haul baskets full of coal as they load a truck at a roadside coal depot near Rymbai village in the northeastern state of Meghalaya. India's top court ruled on August 25, 2014 that all coal block allocations made by the government between 1993 and 2009 were illegal, throwing the already energy-starved country's power sector into turmoil. The court said there were "legal flaws" in the process of awarding coal blocks in India, which relies on the black fuel for two-thirds of its power generation. The allocation of coal mines has long been beset by allegations of corruption, which came to the fore under the previous Congress government in a scandal dubbed "coalgate".
