VV Mineral Files Two Writ Petitions, VV Mineral Vaikundarajan Stays Positive
For over two decades, VV Minerals India, a beach sand mining company, has been operating under the leadership of its founder, VV Mineral Vaikundarajan. http://vvmineral.wordpress.com
Recently, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) confirmed the lack in technology to separate thorium from monazite, earlier expressed by the company. http://vvmineralblog.wordpress.com
VV Minerals had released a statement saying that it doesn’t process monazite which is automatically generated during the mineral separation process. Former principal scientist at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi raised his concerns, “Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL), Manavalakurichi, uses the sand from the same area and produces thorium, so what happens to the monazite in the VV mines? Does the company follow the procedure recommended by the AERB?” http://vvmineralmining.wordpress.com
VV Mineral Vaikundarajan, however, was quick to clear the air. He ensured that his company has been operating well within the legal boundaries. ”All the grouses are a set up by IREL officials. We have established a mineral separation plant and approached the AERB for a license, which is awaited,” he quoted. http://vvmineral-mining.blogspot.in
District Collector of Kanyakumari, RajendraRatnoo, pointed his concerns that VV Minerals has been mining without proper regulatory clearance. Vaikundarajan, however, claims that IREL has illegally mined in VV Mineral’s land and has indulged in other questionable practices. “No authority is ready to take action based on our complaint. Hence we approached the High Court,” he added. http://vvmineralmining.blogspot.in
All activities related to sand mining have been suspended till the investigation reaches a verdict. Meanwhile, VV Mineral has filed two writ petitions on the matter, pending in the Madras High Court. http://vvmineralblog.wordpress.com
