Centre Unlikely to Forcefully Mine Uranium in Meghalaya, Says Officials

Indian officials have clarified that the central government will not enforce uranium mining in Meghalaya. The northeastern state, known for its strong anti-uranium stance, holds an annual Anti-Uranium Day to protest such projects. The decision follows growing concerns over environmental impact and the rights of indigenous communities. Authorities have stated that any future mining activity would require explicit consent and stringent environmental clearances.
