The Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC) investigating into alleged illegal mining activities has asked mining companies operating in Goa to explain violations of rules, even as miners brace themselves for the impact of a continuing ban on mining activities in the state. “The CEC sought our views on four issues including placement of dumps outside lease boundaries, contiguous nature of some mines, transfer of leases and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the buffer zone issue, in its meeting with the mining association members on Wednesday,” a member of the Goa Mineral Ore Exporters Association (GMOEA) said.
