SHILLONG, JUL 13: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday reiterated that the state government remains opposed to uranium mining in Meghalaya amid stiff opposition to the proposal.
Responding to queries on the issue, the Chief Minister said the government’s position has been consistent.
“It is very clear, I have repeated again and again that our government has made it very clear that we have said no to uranium mining in our state,” Sangma said.
The CM’s statement comes against the backdrop of continued opposition from civil society groups and local organisations against any move to allow uranium mining in the state.
The government has maintained that no proposal for uranium mining will be cleared in Meghalaya.
