Alwar : Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly, Tikaram Julie has made serious allegations against the state government and the central government. He said that the main reason for the closure of the state’s mines is the ‘double engine government’ of the state. Julie alleged that due to the negligence of both the governments, 23 thousand mining units in the state are on the verge of closure, due to which the employment of 15 lakh people is in danger. He said that after the November 7 deadline given by the NGT (National Green Tribunal), the mines will be automatically locked as the state level environment committee has not been constituted yet.
“Where have all the big things about Rising Rajasthan gone?”
Tikaram Julie said that Chief Minister Bhajan Lal’s government is ignoring the mineral industry, while he talks big about ‘Rising Rajasthan’ and foreign investment. Julie alleged that due to the negligence of the state government, the mining industry is in crisis and the livelihood of the workers is in danger. He said that the government should immediately pay attention to this issue and bring the mining industry back on track.
There is an atmosphere of despair in this field
The Leader of Opposition said that the government should make a clear policy to utilize the mineral resources of Rajasthan in a better way. He also said that due to no concrete steps being taken by the state government in this matter, there is an atmosphere of disappointment in the mining sector.
Employment crisis may increase in the state
Julie demanded from the government that a state level environment committee should be formed as soon as possible so that the mining industry can be saved from harm. Also, he said that if the government does not take timely action then the employment crisis in the state may increase further.
