Referring to the resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu assembly against the Tungsten mining project, Chief Minister MK Stalin said he had assured everyone that he wouldn't let the project come even if he has to resign from the position.
The Central Government proposed establishing a tungsten mine in Nayakkarpatty, Madurai, but the plan has faced significant opposition due to the area's status as a biodiversity hotspot.
Congress MP Tagore stated that the proposed mining project presents a serious risk to the region's ecosystem, which houses Tamil Nadu's first Biodiversity Heritage Site.
Following the passage of a special resolution in the Tamil Nadu assembly opposing the tungsten mining project, farmers and members of the Anti-Tungsten Mining Project Association welcomed the move and reiterated their demand to declare 48 villages, including Arithapatti, in Madurai district
Earlier on Monday, Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution opposing the project. Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin said that as long as he is the Chief Minister of the state he will not allow tungsten mining at Melur in Madurai district.
