Mines inspection just an eyewash: Ramesh Gawas

In order to prevent any untoward incidents in monsoon and to give proper guidelines to mining companies, Deputy Collector carried out an inspection at the mining area in Bicholim taluka.



But activist Ramesh Gawas says this is just eyewash of the people. 

Deputy Collector along with WRD, PWD and Police officials visited various mines but activists alleged it was a mere eyewash as there was no technical expert in the inspection committee says Gawas.

Before the mining ban was implemented on March 15th in Goa, the Directorate of Mines had laid out clear instructions to cover the mine pits.

The activists say the rules have been flouted by the leaseholders. As the monsoon season is approaching these mining pits are posing threats to peoples’ lives.
