TN calls for cancellation of tungsten mining rights
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|December 10, 2024
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu assembly on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution with the support of the BJP state unit urging the Union government to cancel tungsten mining rights given to Vedanta-owned Hindustan Zinc Limited in Madurai district.
Chief minister MK Stalin said the DMK government will never allow tungsten mining. "We won't grant permission for Tungsten mining in Tamil Nadu. Let me say this categorically. This project won't come to our state as long as I remain the Chief Minister...if (the project) comes, I won't continue in this post," he told the assembly.
Ruckus erupted in the assembly as leader of opposition and AIADMK general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) accused the DMK government for allowing the mining.
EPS said: "The DMK government remained silent when the BJP-led Union government brought an amendment to the Mines and Minerals Act, 1957 and DMK MPs were silent in the Parliament when auctioning of the tungsten mining process went on from February to October."
