✦AI Summary
A CAG report indicates that the West Bengal government failed to protect tribal interests during land acquisition for mining projects between 2017 and 2022. The audit found that tribal landowners were significantly undercompensated compared to market rates.
The CAG has flagged the West Bengal government's "failure" in safeguarding tribals' interests while land was being acquired for mining projects, leading to inadequate compensation payment in five fiscals between 2017-18 and 2021-22 when the Trinamool Congress was in power.
