MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS (SHRI NAMO NARAIN MEENA)
(a) During 2004-2005, 201 proposals from various States for mining and quarrying operations, involving 15753.704 ha of forest land, have been granted approval under Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. The details are given in Annexure-I.
(b) So far, 95002.86 ha of forest land has been allowed to be diverted for 1,198 number of mining and quarrying proposals of various States, since the enactment of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. The State-wise forest land diverted for mining proposals is given in Annexure-II. It is a fact that most of the mines are located in forest areas, which lead to some de-forestation. However, most of the forest area, which has been diverted for mining operations, pertains to renewal of mines, which are in operation since long.
(c) to (e) The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 is a regulatory Act and all the proposals requiring diversion of forest land including proposals for mining are considered on their merit and on the recommendations of the State/UT Governments. To maintain a rational balance between development and conservation, mining is allowed in forest land under strict conditions and with appropriate mitigatory measures like compensatory afforestation, safety zone creation, reclamation of mined areas etc. Vide letter dated 04.05.2001 all the State/UT Governments, have been advised to obtain prior approval of the Supreme Court for diversion of forest land in National Park and Sanctuaries and vide letter dated 24.11.2003 they have also been directed to ensure suspension of all mining activities in National Park and Sanctuaries.
