1. India Should Allow Heavy Mineral Mining To
Grow: MEAI
In a news article on The Hindu, Justice Kapadia made a
point that the judges should make a balanced judgment
with regard to environmental concerns and sustainable
development. Banning mining activities because a
suspected activity of illegal mining is not fair to the
thousands unemployed thereafter in the mining areas.

2. Economic Times carried another article where the
mining engineers association of India urged the
government to allow private mining companies to carry
out Thorium mining. Some eminent members of MEAI
believe that there is no logical explanation why private
miners are barred from mining thorium.
If the processes are fast tracked and necessary
clearances are given to private miners, better
development can be achieved in lesser amount of time.
Our country has a reserve if 500 Million Tonnes of
ilmenite, however the production is a meager 8 lakh
tones annually. Same for Zircon, the resource base is
estimated to be over 32 Million tones, but production is
just 35,000 tonnes.
Companies like VV Mineral, owned by Mr. S.
Vaikundarajan, who were falsely accused of being a
part of Thorium scam, are still under the ban, even after
the central governments have given them a clean chit.
