The Directorate of Mines & Geology has asked miners not to work, handle or sell the dumps till a system is put in place to supervise, monitor and move any such quantity removed, handled or transported.
This will be a major blow to both miners and steel mills which procure iron ore from the state, as the restriction would reduce beneficiation of sub-grade ore (less than 35 per cent of iron content), said Haresh Melwani, CEO of H L Nathurmal & Co, a miner and exporter.
