NGT extends ban on mining of minor minerals in Mayurbhanj
CUTTACK: The National Green Tribunal on Tuesday extended its ban order on mining activity across Mayurbhanj district basing on the interim district survey report, until further orders. On August 8, the NGT’s eastern zone bench at Kolkata had put a halt on mining and auction process of all minor minerals in the district. Pattnaik had challenged the notice of auction for sand mining on Budhabalanga river sand bed-1 at Belonapura, Madhunanda, and Demphouda under Betonati tehsil based on an interim DSR which has not been accepted by the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority. Petitioner counsel Sankar Prasad Pani said the bench of B Amit Sthalekar and Arun Kumar Verma extended the August 8 interim order till next date after taking note of SEIAA’s affidavit which stated that the DSR of Mayurbhanj district is yet to get approval.
