The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has rapped the Karnataka government for its failure to initiate any time-bound action plan to monitor the implementation of the Karnataka Mineral Policy (KMP), 2008.

“Even after a lapse of three years of formation of the committee under the chairmanship of secretary, commerce and industries department, the government of Karnataka has not formulated any time-bound action plan to monitor the implementation of the KMP so that the desired objectives of the policy are achieved in a time-bound manner,” CAG said in its latest report, ‘Controls and Systems for Sustainable Mining in Karnataka.’
