GAKUVED demands closure of the Colamb Fomento mine

Rivona Panchayat unit of Gawada, Kunbi, Velip and Dhangar Federation (GAKUVED) has urged South Goa Collector to intervene and close down the Fomento Iron Ore mine in Colamb, Sanguem, Goa.

In a letter to South Goa Collector, GAKUVED has urged the State administration to intervene and stop Fomentos from operating mining lease in the name of Hiralal Khodidas in Colamb village as it is creating siltation of the agricultural lands. Fomentos have resumed the mining activity after the break monsoon break.
