The New Indian Express Jeypore
|January 24, 2025
THE Ministry of Forest, Environment and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has flagged serious environmental concerns on the Odisha government's proposal for exploratory drilling in Khandadhar sub Block-B iron ore mining area in Sundargarh district by Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC).
Deferring its decision to grant approval for diversion of forest land for exploration by core drilling, the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the ministry has asked the state government for a detailed scientific study to ascertain the impact of mining on the eco-sensitive area and also obtain the views of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).
The state government had sought the approval of the Centre under the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980 for exploration/prospecting in 0.779 ha of forest land within the total prospecting lease area of 432.8 ha covered under prospecting license in favour of OMC in Sundargarh district.
