Respected Sir,

Sub: Request to stop the mining of Hiralal Khodidas Mine T.C. No. 06/1949 at Colomba, Sanguem immediately.

In reference to the above subject, we the villagers of Colomba village request you to take immediately. This request is made to you because of the following reasons:-
1. The mine is destroying our paddy fields.
2. The mine is destroying our paddy fields.
3. The mine is destroying the water bodies of the place.
4. The mine is causing silting of Kushawati River.

The main source of livelihood of the villagers is agriculture. This has been seriously affected. So we request you once again to stop the mine immediately, failing which we the villagers will be forced to stop the same in peaceful way.

Yours faithfully,
