Moneycontrol.com, Dec 26, 2010

The chief minister of Orissa Navin Patnaik has met Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh on Anil Agarwal-owned Vedanta's aluminium mining project, reports CNBC-TV18. Patnaik also discussed the ban on Jindal Steel and Power Ltd's pending projects.
The chief minister is keen to push Vedanta's Lanjigarh project. In a severe blow to Vedanta, the environment ministry had planned to put a stop to its expansion plans at Lanjigarh by calling the expansion "unauthorised" and in serious violation of environmental laws.

Earlier on Friday, Orissa had written to the Ministry on forest land for the Lanjigarh mine.
