Affected people plead ‘restart to legal mining’

PANJIM: No stone was left unturned to ensure the Supreme Court’s Central Empowered Committee, which arrived in the state on Sunday, understands the gravity of the plight of the mining affected people. Be it handing over newspaper clippings of the suicide of Uguem sarpanch, whom the mining affected claimed as the first casualty of stopping the industry, narrating their plight before the CEC, the first day of the Committee’s visit to the state was a pitch by the mining affected to ‘restart legal mining’.
