Ecstatic over the commencement of mining in Goa, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said it has revived the key economic backbone of the State.
“I congratulate Vedanta for the commencement of mining in Bicholim. Due to the ban since 2012, stakeholders, people and the State of Goa faced many hardships”, he said.
I wholeheartedly thank the union Government led by PM Shri @narendramodi Ji for continued support to resolve the issue, he said.
Stating that it was the consistent efforts of our government, Sawant said “we carried out a transparent process to auction the mining blocks in the state... with this not only the State, but also stakeholders will benefit with enhanced revenue”.
Increased revenues will lead to enhanced ability to invest more in welfare schemes, infrastructure development and take the State towards Viksit Goa, he added.
