Union Minister to work for setting up bauxite factory

Lohardaga: Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Sudarshan Bhagat has said he would make efforts in setting up a bauxite factory in Lohardaga.

Lohardaga is rich with bauxite. I will try to bring bauxite factory in the district, Bhagat, who represents Lohardaga constituency, told reporters on a visit here yesterday.

Lohardaga is famous for bauxite but sends the mineral outside as it has no factory of its own.

Stating that he would work for the poor, the minister also said his endeavour would be to extend railway lines till Korba in Chhatisgarh via Gumla.
