Crisis for Goa Chief Minister after report on illegal mining

A report on illegal mining in Goa will force the Congress government in the state to fight for its survival. The Congress is in power in the state with the help of Sharad Pawar's party, the NCP. Justice MB Shah's commission, appointed to investigate mining in Goa, is ready to submit its findings to the Mining Ministry in Delhi. NDTV has exclusive access to the document - the conclusions are grim. More than 50% of all working mines in Goa are guilty of illegalities - the violations range from mining outside permissible areas to a complete disregard for environmental and wildlife clearances. Many companies have been mining by proxy - using fronts to mine more than the quotas assigned to them.
