According to the reports coming in mining activities has resumed inside
the Selaulim dam reservoirs in Taluka. Selaulim dam supplies water to
large part of South Goa including to the cities of Margao and Vasco.
The mine is located in Curdi village. Few years ago Sunita Narayan of
CSE Delhi was attacked on this particular mine when she visited there
to investigate mining activities along with Selesian priest Philip Neri
de Sousa. After complaints to the authorities this mine was stopped.
Goa Assembly debates and decision also witnessed protests against
mining taking place inside Selaulim dam. But alas, miners in Goa cares
a hoot to Goa Assembly as well as to the common people as they are in a
hurry to plunder.
