The chief minister told the delegation that a body led by a group of ministers (GoMs), comprising Mining and Geology, Law, Environment and Home, would be constituted to look into the issue.
“We will understand the issue and take feedback of all stakeholders and prepare a master plan as to how it can be taken forward,” he said.
