In our Special Report this week, we take you to the land of sun, sand and sea i.e. Goa. After tourism, Iron Ore mining is the biggest economic driver of the state. However, indiscriminate mining of iron ore, especially between the years 2000 and 2008, has devastated the state's environment and ecology. Groundwater in the aquifers and wells has completely dried up while paddy cultivation has been majorly impacted. Lives of people around the mining areas is no better. Most of the people are still suffering from the fallout of air and noise pollution.
The Supreme Court banned iron ore mining in Goa in October 2012. While this was rejoiced by environmentalists, the flip side is that thousands of people associated with the mining sector are now jobless. Workers, Miners, Barge owners, Truckers, and many others have nowhere to go. For them life has come to a standstill because they have no other option. A six member panel is going to submit its report by February 2014 and all eyes now will be on how the government would try to strike a balance between the economic and the environmental needs.
