The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has issued
show-cause notice to 40 mining firms for allegedly extracting ore much beyond
permissible limit.
They have been given three dates, April 11, 13 and 16, to
appear before the board with relevant documents and submit their replies, a
GSPCB official said today.
Mines, which are found to be extracting ore in excess of
their stipulated limit, will have their consent under Water and Air Pollution
Control Act revoked, the official added.
