Query over quarries
A recent inter-ministerial report said that the Bjemina stone quarries of the Singye Group were being mined unscientifically. Kuensel has learnt that the department of forests(DoF) under the agriculture ministry ignored mining laws to renew quarrying rights to Singye Company for Bjemina in 2006 up to 2016 and issued a new quarry in Wangdiphodrang to Damchen Company in 2000.
