PANJIM, JULY 24
Trucks transporting mining ore not only causes dust pollution but traffic jams as well. Talukas having high level of mining activity have been suffering for years now. However, the State Government has now proposed a separate road for lorries and trucks transporting ore plying from Curchorem, Quepem and Sanguem.
Chief Minister Digambar Kamat during Question Hour on Friday told the House that a committee is working on a plan to have separate road for transport of mining ore of three talukas.
He was responding to a question tabled by Sanguem MLA Vasudev Gaonkar who highlighted the issue of traffic congestions caused by increasing vehicles carrying mining ore.
Kamat told the MLA to interact with the committee to give his suggestions in this regard.
