Goa to implement IT systems to prevent illegal mining

摘要

Plagued with rampant illegal mining, the Goa Government has decided to implement an information technology-based system to prevent its valuable resource being exported illegally and evading royalty. The draft mining policy, tabled on the floor of the House during the recently concluded State Assembly session, has assured a 'Mines Management System' in place, which has been made to arrest illegal iron ore exports. The Goa Mines and Geology department has decided to implement this Information, Communication and Technology based system, keeping in view the scale of operations involved in mining of iron ore and its exports.
