Goa CM assures of no ban on Iron ore exports at present

Goa chief minister Mr Digambar Kamat on Thursday dismissed
reports about a possible ban on iron ore exports from the state following a
recommendation by the Justice MB Shah Commission saying he had heard nothing
about it.

He asked that “No one has told me that (iron ore) exports would be banned.
How can I approach the Centre asking to stall the ban.”

Mr Kamat told reporters after the channel quoting the Shah Commission's interim
report claimed that mines related to politicians were involved in the illegal
iron ore scam said that “I was approached by a national television
journalist for reaction. I asked him whether he has a report, he said he is not
having it.”

Earlier, mines secretary Mr S Vijay Kumar told PTI that the centre is yet to
receive the Justice MB Shah Commission report on illegal mining in the country.
