Minister Vows Action Over NLC Mine Spoil Damage, Compensation Dispute
In the Assembly, Industries Minister Keerthana said the government will back local farmers and act against NLC India Ltd if it violates rules or harms public welfare. He urged a high-level committee to fast-track rehabilitation for agricultural field damage from collapsed mine-spoil mounds, while citing technical clarifications and claiming no recent breaches since 2015 floods. PMK legislators disputed NLCIL’s CSR, alleged no compensation since 2019, and called for an independent inquiry.
