In a remarkable move, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa yesterday announced a ban on export of iron ore from Karnataka. The ban applies not only on exports out of the country but also out of the state. This means that Karnataka miners will not be able to circumvent the ban by moving their ore to ports like Mormugao in Goa or to Vishakapattnam in Andhra Pradesh to circumvent the ban.
