Disposal of mining dumps in Goa

As informed by the State Government of Goa, a rough estimate based on information made available by the lessee, indicates that approximately 750 Million Tonnes of Dump is lying at various sites. As regards dumps, Policy of Government is reflected in the Draft Mining Policy of Goa, which is yet to be finalized. Such possibilities can not be ruled out and the same has been brought to the notice of the State Government by Indian Bureau of Mines, a sub-ordinate office under Ministry of Mines for proper environmental clearances as pre-requisite for dumps removal / mining.
