The Minister for Mines and Water Resources said the Supreme Court had allowed this transportation; he was responding to a Congress member who said this was wreaking havoc in eco-sensitive Kanniyakumari
Minister for Mines and Water Resources Duraimurugan on Tuesday told the Assembly that since the Supreme Court had allowed it, the government could not prevent the transportation of mined products [such as crushed stones, rough stone and M-sand] from districts of Tamil Nadu to Kerala. “It is not just from Kanniyakumari. We cannot prevent transportation of mined products from other districts of Tamil Nadu to Kerala,” he said while replying to Congress member J.G. Prince, who alleged that large-scale transport of mined products from Kanniyakumari had wreaked havoc on the eco-sensitive district.More Related News
