Mining silt of Vedanta gets washed into Bicholim river. The above picture shows high turbidity of Bicholim river water. Bicholim river is one of the important tributaries or River Mandovi.
Bicholim river carries mining silt from the company's operations in Lamgao village.
Water from mining pit is being pumped out from the Vedanta's (Dempo) mining pit at Lamgao.
Dumps over dumps. Grass used to create stable conditions is disrupted with fresh dumps. As a consequence of this dangerous practice there is increase in mining silt flowing into the river.

Collapse of rejection, runoff from the dumps allowed? This gets into the lakes via “mining drainage system”.

Dumping on “afforested areas”. Dempos did "afforestation" and Vedanta is dumping mining rejects on top it all!
