Frederick FN Noronha: 1) Iron ore mining in Goa is disrupting/ruining the flow of the water table. 2) It is also causing air pollution, with mass respiratory problems in villages close to the mines. 3) Mine owners are paying little or no taxes to the Govt of Goa. 4) The Shah Commission has reported that miners have plundered the natural resources and facilitated an "unrestricted, unchecked and unregulated export of iron ore to China."
I find it embarrassing that a Chinese TV station finds the problem serious enough to report on, while a journalist based in Goa describes the same as, "Funny."

I'm sure our friend Xac could be of help in sorting out issues like these...
