The Goa government today said that all possible options were being considered for the resumption of mining industry in the state.
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar chaired a meeting of legislators from the mining belt in the state at the legislature wing of the assembly complex this morning.
The meeting was attended by Speaker Pramod Sawant and legislators from the mining belt, including Rajesh Patnekar (BJP), Deepak Pawaskar (MGP), Pravin Zantye (BJP) and Prasad Gaonkar (independent).
The MLAs resolved that attempts should be made to resume mining by October-November this year as several thousand people are seeking resumption of the industry.
The Chief Minister's Office (CMO), in a statement issued here, said, "The CM will also meet the MLAs who were unavailable for today's meeting on account of being out of the state. He has been holding regular consultative meetings with all concerned on mining issue in the state."
