French cement giant Lafarge may have to wait a while to resume mining, with the Supreme Court asking it to seek fresh environmental and forests clearance from the Centre for mining in the eco-fragile East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan while rejecting the plea for lifting of ban on limestone mining by Lafarge Umiam Mining Pvt Ltd (LUMPL) asked the latter to get a fresh Environment Impact Assesment (EIA).
The order will delay raw material supply to Lafarge
