Digital Goa, Mar 31- The Goa Foundation has accused the Directorate of Mines & Geology of continuing to patronize and support open theft and illegal transportation of mineral ores at the expense of the state exchequer while demanding CBI probe in the matter. “The case of illegal transport from Pissurlem is without doubt a major scandal, and needs an SIT or CBI investigation. A dump of 3,00,000 MT has been e-auctioned for Rs 10 crore when its market value is Rs.90 crore”, the green NGO alleged. Goa Foundation has written to the Chief Secretary demanding an investigation into the decisions of the DMG to allow mining from dumps at Pissurlem and Mayem. Hanuman Porob, social activist and several innocent villagers were harassed and then arrested and assaulted by police when they questioned the illegal transport, Goa Foundation said.
