SAFER MINING

Dear All

See the comments and suggestions made on miming at Goa  (read more at: http://www.downtoearth.org.in/content/dream-run-over) as:

Yes, it is true that the mining has done significant damage to the health & wealth of the people and environment. At the same time it reflects the flaws at mapping, planning, approval, implementation, monitoring and evaluation which were mainly controlled by the Government and Mine Owners.

When the mining has significantly deviated or affected the heath & wealth of the people & environment, the the decision came to close the mines. The employees, workers and the people having dumper trucks including their wage based drivers are the one who got affected. The daily wage based workers and dumper truckers are the worst affected both for the daily earning and to pay their loans.

On the basis of health & wealth of the people & environment, the decision may be right to plan or design the process of mining and other related rehabilitation works.

At the same time, there should be reallocation or rehabilitation or alternative livelihood for the daily wage workers workers including dumper truckers. This is possible if the authorities tries for providing alternatives.

Later on, by understanding the SWOT of the present mining and its impact, safer mining measures can be designed to restart the mining activity with matching resettlement & rehabilitation for the people & environment.

Let hope for the safer mining tuning to B2P model which is concerned for the health & wealth of the people & environment.

Looking forward for the better utilization of natural Resources with sustainable strategies......

All the best
