PANJIM: The large group of activists and concerned citizens who descended on the Goa State Pollution Control Board office on Tuesday have demanded the government shouldn’t renew even a single ‘consent to operate’ licence and instead reject the applications for renewal filed by the 90 operational mines by September 25.
">Additionally, they demanded action against mining leases for operating without consent over the last many years. Chairman of GSPCB José Noronha has promised to take up their demands in the September 25 Board meeting.
