Pinning their hopes on the new chief minister, members of the Goa Mining People’s Front (GMPF) led by Puti Gaonkar met CM Dr Pramod Sawant on Thursday to discuss the resumption of mining in the State.
The delegation requested Dr Sawant to look into the matter urgently and to resume mining as early as possible and submitted a memorandum to him in the connection.
In his reply, the CM said he was equally eager to resuming mining activity with urgency and said his government was studying all possible ways to find a solution.
Sources said CM had gone to New Delhi to meet PM Modi, BJP Party chief Amit Shah and is also likely to meet other ministers to discuss the mining issue.
