No mining will be allowed around the eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) of six wildlife sanctuaries and national parks in Goa with the environment ministry on Thursday imposing a ban on such activities.
The Centre will also constitute a state-level ESZ Monitoring Committee (SESZMC) under Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, to see that the ESZ notification for the state is complied with.
