Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaSeptember 14, 2023

East Jaintia Hills Deputy Commissioner on Thursday has issued an advisory stating that cooperative bodies can be formed by small miners so that can apply collectively for Prospecting License or Mining Lease for undertaking scientific mining in East Jaintia Hills District.

These cooperative can obtain requisite permission for scientific mining and, thereupon, scientific mining can be conducted by them by adhering to all statutory and environment concerns and parameters.

This will be an avenue of ensuring revenue and livelihood opportunities for those who were previously engaged in coal mining.
