The auctioned ore is being extracted from the site which was operated by a firm run by Dinar Tarcar, a local businessman, who was indicted in a Public Accounts Committee report for illegal mining.
Tarcar also contested the 2012 state assembly election on behalf of a regional party, which is now a part of the ruling BJP-led coalition government.
While meeting a delegation of villagers, Acharya said a data entry operator from a government-operated electronics company was posted at weigh bridges to check the quantum of ore transported.
"We also have a mechanism to track the trucks carrying the ore and the amount which was being carried," Acharya said.
"The villagers demand the right to inspect all the files and receive certified copies, pertaining to the e-auction of the ore, subsequent movement of the ore from the mine dumps and the wrong imprisonment of Cavrem villagers," said the memorandum submitted to the director.
On May 9, 34 villagers protesting against the indiscriminate transportation of ore were arrested.
