Miners Celebrating Environment Week
Reference to the article "Mining companies urged to protect environment" Herald dated 10th Jan'10, To me it sounds like asking the wolfs to protect the hen house, Timblo Minerals Pvt Ltd at Cavrem Mines celebrating Environment Week, is this absurdity or audacity at it's best ? Rapists celebrating women day !! Mining and protecting environment and ecology, isn't that plain and simple oxymoron. Or are we all missing something vital ? Mr. Panigrahi a central government official along with people involved in destroying and devastating our ecology and our environment were invited to celebrate environment week by a leading miner, were any of the environmental activists invited ? Environment is the concern of the whole wide world and our miners want to add insult to injury by making a show of it all. The people who are fighting for the preservation of our ecology and our environment are more often than not, terrorized by the police and are even threatened with encounter deaths, who are, become mere tools bought by the miners lock, stock and barrel, to do their unholy will. Our CM, the minister for mines, had said that there would be a comprehensive mining policy before the end of the year, which has failed to surface, like most of his other promises. Some time back he himself had said that strict action would be taken against illegal mining, has any one seen any action at all ? All our present politicians are hand in glove with the miners, with just an occasional whimper, for the sake of Aam Aadmi. While miners are celebrating environment week, devil in hell must be celebrating Christmas and Ravan must be celebrating Ram Lila ! What a scene, times have certainly changed !
