9 Mar: Carmen Miranda together with Claude Alvares from Goa Foundation and
other activists in Goa, were instrumental in getting the Indian Central Govt.
to impose a temporary ban on new mining leases in Goa. Carmen writes: You can
now sign a Petition not to lift the moratorium on new mining leases till such
time as the ministry has received and considered the environmental impact
assessment and Goa's mining carrying capacity report of the Indian National
Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI).
