Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has assured mining industry dependents that issues pertaining to the sector would be resolved by the end of July.
Iron ore mining and transportation operations came to a standstill in Goa after the Supreme Court quashed 88 leases in February last year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the NITI Aayog meeting in Delhi earlier this week, also emphasized the need for quickly finding a resolution to the mining impasse in Goa.
Goa Mining People's Front (GMPF) President Putin Gaonkar told reporters here that he "got an assurance from the Chief Minister (yesterday) that he will resolve this mining issue by the end of July."
