New Delhi, Mar 13 (PTI)The government has said multi -national mining company Vedanata Resources has been found to have violated certain environmental regulations at its mining site in the Niyamgiri hills in Orissa.
A three-member team of the Union Environment Ministry, which submitted its report to Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, has found evidence of violations of green norms at the company's bauxite project in the Kalahandi district of Orissa.
"I would not subscribe to the high-profile campaign in the case by various groups. But I am looking at the case on merit basis. But I can say that they have violated Forest Rights Act, without taking consideration of the tribal rights," Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh said on the sidelines of a function here.
