From the New Indian Express:
# Nearly 35,31,918 metric tonne of iron ore illegally stored and exported from Karwar and Belekeri ports between November 2009 and March 2010.
# Nearly 57,17,370 metric tonne iron ore exported from the two ports over the last five months, when the total number of permits issued by the department of mines and geology was only 21,85,452 tonnes.
You do the math on the Rs 2,500 crore scam.

No wonder, the Yeddi Gaadi was almost shunted when the flood relief surcharge on each truck load of Ore was proposed. Somebody didn’t want a count.
