PANJIM: The main contention of the affidavit filed by the state government before the Supreme Court is that Shah Commission report has erred in its valuation of illegal mining in Goa, putting the blame squarely on the Global Positioning System for inaccurate measurements, thereby justifying the mining carried out earlier.
According to the Shah Commission there was a Rs 35,000 crore revenue loss due to illegal mining; while Manohar Parrikar, then Leader of Opposition and chairman Public Accounts Committee put the revenue loss at Rs 4,000 crore.
