Sangma told reporters that there are large numbers of individual miners who have already applied for prospective licenses, and about 15-18 of them have received it also.

“Some of them have also gone ahead and submitted their mining plans which will then get the approval from different agencies and then process of scientific mining can also start,” he said.
