Expert panel to study impact of uranium mining

Shillong: : In its effort to evolve a consensus on the uranium mining issue, the Meghalaya Progressive Alliance Government formed an expert panel to study the impact of mining on the health of people living around the mining sites.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Donkupar Roy said the expert committee of health department officials would study the impact in West Khasi Hills where the Atomic Mineral Division (AMD) had carried out a decade-long exploration work. The committee would go to Jadugoda and study whether the residents were exposed to radiation and report on their health status.

The MPA Government had formed an all-party committee on uranium mining as some political parties and NGOs were opposed to Uranium Corporation of India Limited mining uranium in West Khasi Hills.
