-The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: After vociferous protests from workers' unions, Narendra Modi government's coal ordinance is drawing flak from adivasi villagers of north Chhattisgarh as 20 gram sabhas from three districts of the state have passed resolutions against resumption of mining in 16 coal blocks spread over 2,000 sq km of dense forests which were part of the previous UPA government's 'no go' areas.

The opposition could be debilitating for the Centre's move because the consent of the gram sabhas is mandatory for mining activity in Schedule 5 areas, where both the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act, 1996, and Forest Rights Act, 2006, are applicable. Vedanta Group's proposed project in Odisha, where gram sabhas in tribal areas voted out the mining project, is a case in point.
