HEADING ----------Goa congress leader Tarcar under scanner for illegal mining; speaker defers tabling of PAC report ------------


Manohar Parrikar-led Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has employed Google Earth Satellite Imagery to track down illegal mining in Goa. According to the said satellite imagery Dinar Tarcar, congress leader, has extracted excess iron ore then prescribed permit.

As per data provided by Mines and Geology department has specified that Tarcar, who operated mine through Power of Attorney at Temebocheo Dongor in rural Goa (survey number 59/51), was allowed to extract three millions tons of ore. However, the Google images show that in 2003 the said area was a virgin land. The report cited that it is not possible to agree with any fallacious contention that several million tons of ore dump accumulated has been done on account of earlier dumps accumulation.

Tarcar contested the previous State Legislative Assembly elections from Panaji constituency, and lost to Parrikar.

The tabling of much awaited PAC report on illegal mining has been deferred by the Goa Assembly speaker Rane. He stated that he will decide the date to present the PAC report Assembly. It is believed that mining worth Rs 3500 crore has illegally taken place in Goa state.
