Post News Network
Keonjhar: Mineral-rich Keonjhar has a number of industrial units, but they have not created employment opportunities for locals, a report said.
The report said, these industries have engaged more people from outside than locals. Given the job scenario, the number of local employments these industries have given people is not encouraging.
The mining sector can absorb more people in work. But it was alleged that minerals mined here are exported to other states while machines have been engaged in mineral extraction and uploading. It is said, thousands of people can be engaged in this sector, if machines are avoided.
