The Union government has decided to scrap the tungsten mineral block
awarded to Hindustan Zinc Limited in an auction in November. Coal and Mines
Minister G Kishan Reddy said the ministry took representations by the locals
that cited environmental and cultural reasons to stop the mining.
The Centre decided to annul the auction
of Nayakkarpatti Tungsten mineral block, the Union Ministry for Coal and Mines
stated through a Press Information Bureau release today 23 Jan ’25. According to the statement, the Union
Minister of Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy met with the traditional community
leaders, Ambalakarars, from Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district of Tamil Nadu to
discuss the danger mining posed to the ecologically diverse region.
The release also stated that after the block was auctioned, “a number
of representations have been received against the said auction on the ground
that there is a Biodiversity Heritage Site within the block area.” One of the contentious proposed mining sites
included Arittapatti, a biodiversity-rich area which also boasts historical and
cultural significance...The Chief
Minister further asserted that the Union Government should refrain from issuing
mining auction notifications without the state government's consent.
