According to the information received from Colamb, Sanguem, Goa late last night Fomentos has increased the work on its Colamb mine with around 100 trucks plying inside the mine premises. No transportation outsite the mine is however has resumed. There are reports of clashes between the villagers and staff of the Fomento mining company over the past couple of days.
Villagers are fighting the mining activity in the village as it is ruining the village and Goa Federation of Mines Affected People (GOAMAP) had even passed resolution on August 10 2008 requesting Fomentos to voluntarity abandon its Colamb mine due to protest from the community.
Fomentos however have refused and have gone against the wishes of the protesting villagers so far.
