The Goa government has constituted several teams to inspect and quantify the iron ore stacked at various points in the state before allowing it to be exported, a senior official said today. 

The state government, in its order dated September 10, had decided to allow only the already extracted and ready for transportation ore to be exported, thus discouraging fresh extraction. 

The teams comprising officials from the mines and forest departments and Goa State Pollution Control Board will be inspecting the places where ore is stacked, said state Mines and Geology Director Prasanna Acharya.
