Indian Government Should Optimise Mining Industry – VV Mineral

Viapar is a coastal village in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin district where mineral mining on beaches is practised with government permission. On August 6, District Collector Ashish Kumar had raided the premises of VV Minerals, but it turned out that he had connections with its rivals. As soon as the rumours were confirmed, Mr Kumar was taken off the case and transferred. VV Minerals claimed that the "charges made by the former District Collector are baseless, motivated and vague."
