Goa, March 02: With all mining activity in Goa scheduled to end after March 15 following an apex court order, state MLAs cutting across party lines on Thursday resolved to meet Union Ministers Narendra Singh Tomar and Nitin Gadkari to ensure mining operations aren't temporarily disbanded after the deadline.
The BJP-led coalition government's seniormost Cabinet Minister Sudin Dhavalikar said an all-party delegation from Goa would meet the two on Monday in Delhi.
"We have fixed appointments with Union Minister for Mines Narendra Singh Tomar and Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. We hope to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked our South Goa MP Narendra Sawaikar to secure an appointment with him," Dhavalikar told reporters at the Secretariat late on Thursday after chairing an all-party meeting.
