'Mining ban will result in social turmoil'

While the mining dependents continue to build pressure, politicians in Goa say they can sense the panic. GPCC Chief Shantaram Naik has appealed the court to consider social implications leading to the ban while TCP Minister Vijai Sardessai warns of social turmoil.

With the all-party delegation failing to come up with any consensus, Congress state president Shantaram Naik appealed to the courts to understand their social responsibility while giving such decisions. He says the repercussions of the ban can be bad for the society.

While Opposition leader Babu Kavlekar blamed the government for their slow reaction to the court’s order. 

Meanwhile, TCP Minister and Goa Forward leader Vijai Sardessai warned of social turmoil if mining is stopped from the 16^th of this month.
