Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant has expressed his joy at the resumption of Mining in Goa. Expressing his delight at the development, the Chief Minister posted the following reaction on his social media X.
“It’s a Historic Day for Goa!
“I congratulate Vedanta for the commencement of mining in Bicholim. This has revived one of the key economic backbone of the state of Goa. Due to the ban on mining since 2012, the stakeholders, people and the state of Goa faced many hardships.
“I wholeheartedly thank the union Government led by Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji for continued support to resolve the issue.
With the consistent efforts of our Government, we carried out a transparent process to auction the mining blocks in the state. With this many stakeholders shall benefit to create employment and the state shall benefit with the enhanced revenue.
The increased revenues to the state shall lead to enhanced ability of the state to invest more in welfare schemes, infrastructure development in the state, and take the state towards Viksit Goa.”
