DIMAPUR, MAY 27 (MExN): Parliamentary Secretary for Geology and Mining, Dr. Imtiwapang Aier on Friday said the Nagaland State Government was “struggling hard for effective implementation” of policies in the mining sector.
Addressing the 2nd National Meet of Mining Ministers on key issues pertaining to mining sector at Jaipur, Rajasthan, Aier said the mining sector in Nagaland was lacking behind and still in infant stage and the mining department was “helpless and crippled due to financial paucity.”
In this connection, Aier made two proposals which are- assistance for effective implementation of Nagaland Minor Minerals Concession Rules 2005 for “sustainable mining of minor minerals for economic development of the tribal people” and setting up of a mining vocational training centre in Nagaland.
Union Minister of Steel and Mines, Narendra Singh Tomar delivered the keynote address at the meet.
