Villagers of Caurem held Dharna at Azad Maidan, Panaji yesterday on 18.04.2016. A delegation of Caurem villagers also met the Director of Mines & Geology Shri. Prasanna Acharya and explained about the illegal Iron ore transportation that is taking place from the village and requested him to seize the unaccounted ore which is not on official record.
However he refused to take any action and instead told the delegation that he is the sole authority to e-auction and transportation of this ore and he is acting in his capacity. He also told that the villagers should not interfere in this regard. Caurem villagers have worked on these mines as Supervisor, spotters, truck drivers and laborers. They know about the quantity and grade of the ore which the mining companies have kept outside the record. This present govt, the Directorate of Mines & Geology are hand in gloves with the Mine owners. The poor tribal villagers have meted out with atrocities at the hands of Quepem police. Ravindra Velip was attacked inside the judicial lockup. The State Govt in connivance with mine owners tried Character Assassination of Ravindra Velip. The Govt has even refused to register their co-operative society which is the violation of their fundamental right as per article 19 (1) (C) of Constitution of India. Dr. Cloud Alvares and Shri. Ramesh Gawas yesterday addressed to the villagers of Caurem at Azad Maidan and extended their support. Since the entire system is against Caurem villagers and their demand, now they have decided to fight their battle in the supreme court by intervening in the WP(C) 435/2012. But the sad part is that till they get order there might bel another scam of some thousand cores of rupees and no one will bother to recover the loot, as it was happened during illegal mining since year 2007 to 2012.
