Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has said the coal handling project at the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) was cleared by the previous Congress-led government at the center and that he would provide details about it in the next session of the state assembly.
The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in Goa recently resolved against the coal handling facility at the MPT, which is facing opposition from some quarters for causing pollution. The CLP also resolved against the nationalization of rivers.
The opposition party has been accusing the government of shielding the coal handling facility at MPT, which is leased out to Adani Mormugao Port Terminal Private and South West Port. Parrikar said the permission for handling the coal at MPT was granted in January 2014, when the congress was in power at the center. The MPT is governed by the central government.
