Goa Mining Protest

Defying prohibitory orders, hundreds of people protested in Panaji on Monday against a recent Supreme Court order banning mining in Goa, leading to a lathicharge by the police to disperse protesters who had disrupted traffic by blocking the main entry and exit points to the city.

It is not possible to seek jobs and other means of livelihood and at the same time complain about pollution, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday, while flaying coal pollution-related protests in South Goa's Vasco port town, 35 km from Panaji
