Panaji (Goa) After an unsuccessful round of meeting with the Central Ministers in resolving the mining crisis, the ruling BJP is banking on its second visit to Delhi on March 9, wherein they are going to press for an Ordinance to keep the Supreme Court’s February 7 order, stopping mining operations after March 15, in abeyance for next four-five years.
The ruling panel delegation will on March 9 call on Union Minister for Mines Narendra Singh Tomar, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Union Minister for Law Ravi Shankar Prasad seeking their intervention in ensuring that mining operations continue in the State.
On Monday, an all-party delegation had met Union Minister for Shipping Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister for Railways Piyush Goyal.
Addressing media persons today afternoon, BJP MLA Nilesh Cabral said that during our next meeting, we will put forth demand that in lines of NIIT and Jallikattu ordinance, Centre should also pass an ordinance keeping in abeyance the SC order thus granting immediate relief to the people dependent.
“We will also approach our Cabinet to pass the resolution that mining activities in Goa should continue after March 15 and that Centre should intervene,” he said.
