RTI activist complains against mining company
July 2nd, 2011 - 3:17 pm ICT by IANSPanaji, July 2 (IANS) A criminal complaint has been filed against the owner and officials of a mining company after three workers were killed in an accident at the mining site in Goa.
The complaint was filed before the Crime Branch Friday by right to information activist (RTI) Kashinath Shetye. The accident took place last month at Cuddegal, 50 km from here.
The complaint accused the mining company officials of acting negligently, endangering the lives of mine workers and culpable homicide.
Three mine workers, including an engineer, were killed June 18 when an onsite canteen came down on them drowning them to death into the mining sludge.
The mining firm, Sociedade de Fomento Industrial Pvt Audut Timblo, admitted that the incident took place but called it a “natural disaster in form of a landslide”.
Asked about the complaint, a company official declines to comment.
