Comprehensive policy on ore export called

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court has called for a comprehensive policy by the Union and State governments on the export of iron ore so that country does not waste this valuable resource and that it could be utilised for future generations also.

Calling for revitalising of existing iron ore mines, the court said the indiscriminate manner in which iron ore was extracted in the State and elsewhere may lead to its non-availability for future generations and if they become scarce it would have to be imported at higher costs.

Disposing of a petition by Kudremukh Shram Shakthi Sanghhatana of Mangalore, Justice Huluvadi G. Ramesh directed the governments to consider, if they review the mining policy, an application by the Sanghatana for grant of mining lease in Ramadurga area in Bellary district. The Sanghatana had moved the court seeking a direction to the State to pay compensation to KIOCL in case mining lease in 1,573 hectares in Ramadurga area could not be granted to it.
