‘As long as I am TN CM tungsten mining in Melur will not be allowed’

Faced with an opposition barrage on the Union Government granting tungsten mining rights to Hindustan Zinc Ltd. at Arittapatti near Madurai and the state government waking up late in the day, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday asserted in the Tamil Nadu assembly that he would never allow this and if it happened he won't remain in office.

He was responding to Leader of the Opposition and AIADMK general Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) during the debate on the government resolution urging the Union Government to cancel the lease granted to the company, a subsidiary of the Vedanta group.

Moving the resolution, which was passed unanimously, Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan charged the Union Government with disregarding the objections placed by the state government to prevent the auction process.
