Surveys by GSI (Geological Survey of India) in #Manipur has reported finding of Nickel, copper and Platinum Group Elements ( PGE )/Platinum Group Metals aptyt from Malachite, Azurite and Magnetite.
This lies under the earth strata of the hills which is the home to tribals for 1000s of years.
89% of the land in #Manipur are hills. The precious minerals are in that territory. This is the home of the tribals.
Well known private companies with close links to the ruling party are interested in getting mining rights. The hill inhabitants would have to helplessly watch the hill and mountain tops being sliced off and monstrous mining equipments tear into it's belly and pull out their booty... ..Somewhere deep beneath the ethnic violence that we see, is yet another untold story of precious metals, minerals, Mining lobby, political benefits.
