- India
A delegation of the Goa Mining People's Front Friday met Niti Aayog vice-chairman Rajiv Kumar and Union Law Secretary Alok Srivastava in Delhi and requested them to do the needful for resumption of the stalled activity. GMPF president Puti Gaonkar Saturday said Kumar assured them to take up the issue with a national committee which was constituted to suggest a way forward on mining.
"Kumar said he will take up the matter for discussion with Union Mines Secretary in coming days," he added. Gaonkar said Srivastava assured them that the Union government would take the necessary steps to ensure that livelihood of Goans is protected. The delegation also made representations before the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) and the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). Mining in Goa came to a halt in March last year, after the supreme court quashed renewal of 88 mining leases.
