PANAJI: 

Home Minister and BJP chief Amit Shah would chair a meeting on the issue of Goa’s mining crisis in New Delhi on Friday.

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, who holds the mining portfolio, would attend the meeting.

“Sawant will attend a high-level meeting on Goa mining to be chaired by Amit Shah along with Union Minister for Mines Pralhad Joshi at New Delhi on Friday at 4:00 PM,” a statement released here by Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said Thursday.

The state Advocate General Devidas Pangam will also be present for the meeting.

The five-decade-old mining industry in the coastal state came to a standstill in March 2018, after the Supreme Court quashed the second renewal of 88 iron ore mining leases.
