Committee to Examine Mining Projects
A Special Committee of independent experts, constituted by the National Tiger Conservation Authority, for examining mining proposals both in and around tiger reserves has not favourably viewed some mining proposals (7) owing to their detrimental effect on tiger conservation. Further, the said Committee has recommended that none of the existing mines falling within the Satpura-Pench corridor should be renewed after expiry of the present lease.
The Minister of State for Environment and Forests (Independent Charge) Shri Jairam Ramesh gave this information in a written reply to a question by Shri Sugumar K. in Lok Sabha today.
