13 Jun 2019 05:28 PM

Mining workers and stakeholder on Thursday met the leader of opposition Babu Kavlekar wanting the Congress to take up restart of mining in the upcoming assembly session. This assumes significance given that the talk of mining via mining corporation instead of auction is gaining ground



Mining in Goa was shut in March 2012. Mining workers and stakeholders have been agitating to get mining restarted by amending the MMDR Act.


They have even met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But though the Centre and the state governments have been sympathetic, till date mining has not restarted.
