It finally described 95 miners as a “infamous evidence” against him by criminal prosecution and Ms. Cooper.

After the announcement by the National Coal Board (NCB) in March 1984, the incident broke out that it was shutting down the 20 UK colonies which was said to be oriented.

This resulted in loss of at least 20,000 jobs.

More than three -fourth of the country’s 187,000 miners went on strike in response to the announcement.

But violent clashes between the police and the miners injured more than 100 pickers and officers in the coking plant.

A total of 95 people who were picketing at the plant were arrested and prosecuted for riot and illegal assembly allegations.

However, the case against him fell in the court due to allegations in the court that the South Yorkshire police had misunderstood the evidence.

Many people involved have said that even 40 years, they want what happened and why it happened.

It is still considered one of the most violent episodes in British industrial history.

The South Yorkshire police said that it would “cooperate with the investigation in the bid to help the affected people find answers”.

Mr. Rollin said: “It has been a long slogan in the last 13 years and we cannot believe it.

“We are really happy and we want to achieve the truth.

“We want all those who live across the country in mining communities that have been treated very badly for a smile (in response to news) on their face.

“It’s a difficult fight and thank you all who have supported us.”

South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Copard said the announcement of the investigation was “historic moment for justice and accountability”.

He said, “We give it to miners, their families and our communities to ensure that the events of Orgrav are finally understood.”

The conservative government had earlier rejected the call for an inquiry.

In 2016, the then Home Secretary, Amber Rood said that it would not be in public interest.

He said that even though the miners were involved, “tremendous accounts” about its permanent impact on him, “finally no death or wrong guilty”.

Roderham MP Sarah Champion said that former miners, her family and campaigners had worked “tirelessly” to secure an investigation.

He said: “I have stood shoulder to shoulder with the campaigners over the years because he was confident that an inquiry was to be commissioned, only the rug was taken out of them.

“They have been allowed to go down the time and time again, and I am proud that our labor government is good for its word and will eventually reveal the truth.”
