In a major blow to mining companies operating in Goa, the Supreme Court on Wednesday quashed 88 leases granted by the state government in 2015, saying the Centre and state acted in undue haste by allowing renewal of leases in violation of law for the benefits of private firms. This order will bring mining operations for iron and manganese ore to a complete standstill in the state.
