Acting swiftly on a letter written by the Central Empowered Committee of the Supreme Court, the Andhra Pradesh Government decided on Tuesday night to suspend mining operations, including transportation of already mined material, in six iron ore mines in Anantapur district.
CEC Member Secretary M.K. Jiwrajka had written a letter to Chief Secretary P. Ramakanth Reddy on Monday advising the government to stop mining operations and prevent transportation of ore from these mines. This letter was written four days after the committee submitted its report to the Supreme Court recommending that illegal mining be stopped immediately.
