The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has ordered sealing of a mine in South Goa village after local tribals staged protests and laid siege to various Government offices here, fearing mining on a sacred mountain in the area.
The GSPCB, in a late night order, shutdown Devpan ou Devadongor Iron and Manganese Private Ltd's mine at Caurem village in Goa as they failed to comply with the air and water pollution norms.
“We don't even pluck a leaf from that mountain. How can we allow a mining firm to swallow it entirely,” asked a 67-year-old woman who was the part of the agitating group.
