Hyderabad, Sept.15 (Maxim News): Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has unequivocally declared today that after formation of Telangana State, no permission was given to anyone for Uranium mining, and added that there was no intention on the part of the Government to issue such permission in future also.
Replying to the discussion on the Budget in the Legislative Assembly, the Chief Minister also assured that they will not allow destruction of Nallamala forests under any circumstances. KCR has further stated that despite their opposition, the Congress Government had, in the united Andhra Pradesh, in 2009, given permissions for uranium mining. He said that uranium mining has started in Andhra.
A situation might arise when the waters of Godavari and Krishna rivers got polluted and the food givers (farmers) were made to suffer a lot. The drinking water that comes to Hyderabad also might get polluted. Keeping all these factors in view, there was no question of giving permission for uranium mining, he made it clear.
Chandrasekhar Rao also assured the people that there was no need for any anxiety on the issue and reiterated that the Government will not issue permission for uranium mining under any circumstances. He further stated that a resolution would be adopted in the State Assembly tomorrow on the issue and it would be sent to the Centre. KCR also said that if the Centre insists of giving mining permissions, they would fight it out united.
The Chief Minister’s clear cut statement on the issue has, in a way, exposed the Congress party, which is raising a hue and cry stating that the TRS Government was in favour of giving permissions for uranium mining.
The congress as also other parties were blaming the TRS Government of permitting uranium mining and destroying the Nallamala forests. The congress leaders were also planning protest programmes against the TRS Government on the issue. KCR’s categorical statement also exposed the Congress party’s double game in giving permission for mining in 2009 and now opposing it. (Maxim News)
