FORESTS are shrinking. Various government departments and private organisations are keen to make use of forest land not just for laying cables and water lines, but for setting up minor and mega power projects, hydro-electric, infrastructure and mining projects.

- BOSKY KHANNA @Bengaluru

Latest in the list is the Mines and Geology Department. It is seeking permission to re-open closed mines for auction, extraction and exploration of ores in new areas. The plea is on for gold exploration in Chikkamagaluru and reopening mines in Kolar and Ballari, saying it will help increase revenue to the state exchequer, said a senior forest department official.
