General Secretary of Tinsukia District Journalists Association, Rana Jyoti Neog said, “Margherita’s four times former MLA and present Nagaon MP Pradyut Bordoloi is now profane and speaking unnecessarily everywhere. Recently Nagaon MP Pradyut Bordoloi made a statement that at Margherita Sub Division rampant illegal coal mining is going on, where if any worker who died in the coal rat hole mining, journalists of Margherita charge Rs 1 Lakh for each worker as a contract to suppress the death incident of workers in rathole mines.

He further added, “We demand Bordoloi to immediately announce the names of those journalists who are corrupt and have charge money for each worker death in the rat hole mining of Margherita Sub Division.”
