PANJIM: While the ore rich talukas of Goa have begun to bear the brunt of closure of mining industry, Chief Secretary B Vijayan claimed that the downturn had not affected the State exchequer, even as revenue collection was only 30 percent of the estimates.
Vijayan refuted fears of a recession even though the State earned only Rs 360 crore of the estimated Rs 900 crore mining revenue in the last seven months.
