  1. Congratulation to Garnet producers for bring India as No.1 against Developed countries of USA, Australia, Canada etc.,

  2. 96% production from Tamilnadu confirmed by IBM Year Book (Page 23-Hence this merit goes to the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.

  3. It is a great privilege that India is holding No. 1 position in Garnet production in the world that too Tamil Nadu is producing 96% of Garnet in India. In that case, Government is banning this Beach Mining business for so many months in Tamil Nadu which will reflect and it is a down fall for India in the sight of world and hence Government should take a firm action as fast as possible to increase the Garnet Production which paves the way for more Exports.

  4. Garnet producers lead the way in production and also earn the valuable foriegn exchange revenue to the country. The industries are to be encouraged by the Government and people.

  5. The survey report says Tamilnadu fall to last position in developing states. In this situation if the govt. revokes the mining ban, it definitely rise from the bottom to top again.

  6. The central govt. unit INDIAN RARE EARTHS produces minerals in large scale. there is no erosion in sea and they are in this field more than 50 years. the state govt. only ban the private industries. it affects lot of employment both direct and indirect. TN govt. should revoke the mining ban.

  7. Garnet is the most precious product in the world. It’s make a more foreign exchange in our country and gives lot of job. So TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT should revoke the mining ban.

  8. Huge amount of foreign exchange is coming to your nation through mineral export and thousands of workers getting job in this field. who oppose this mining activity blindly should take this point
