August 29, 2013 10:06

Mining in Goa could resume by November this year if the Supreme Court lifts the ban imposed on the activity soon, said Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.

"If the Supreme Court vacates the ban (on mining) the export of ore can start by November-December this year," Parrikar told reporters.

The chief minister said the resumption of mining will depend on the apex court's order, clearance from the ministry of environment and forest, consent under the Water and Air Pollution Prevention Act and certification from the Indian Bureau of Mines.
