Centre to restrict mining in forests

GK NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi, May 4: The Centre is set to prevent top mining firms from tapping 35 percent of India’s coal reserves due to environmental concerns in forested areas, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
 The decision to make the reserves “off-limits” is part of plans to better regulate the mining industry, which has paid scant attention to environmental rules in the past, the report said.
 “I cannot, in clear conscience, clear these projects in the no-go areas,’” minister Jairam Ramesh told the newspaper in an interview.
