What is the coal scam in which former PM Manmohan Singh was cleared?
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and five other individuals have been cleared by the Supreme Court in the coal block allocation case. Widely referred to as the "Coalgate" scam, the matter involves the suspected irregular distribution of the Talabira-II coal block in Odisha to Hindalco Industries by the UPA administration from 2004 to 2009. Rather than holding competitive auctions, numerous coal blocks were distributed using a screening committee system.
