Early Times Report
Jammu, May 31: Amit Sharma, Secretary to Government, Mining Department today took a maiden review meeting on the working of J&K Minerals Corporation today at Civil Secretariat, Jammu. The meeting was attended by Vikram Gupta MD, J&K Minerals alongwith his team, Suresh Kumar Koul, Director Finance Mining Department and Arun Kishore Kotwal, Additional Secretary Mining Department.
During the review meeting, Secretary Mining Department Amit Sharma observed that J&K Minerals is doing a good and consistent work over last few years especially regarding extraction of coal from Kalakote Mines and gypsum from Parlanka Mines which is resulting into handsome income for the Corporation and helping to clear lot of pending dues for the employees of the Corporation.
It was informed during the Meeting that J&K Minerals Corporation is actively extracting precious gem Sapphire from Padder (Kishtwar hills) during activity season spanning over 3-4 months during summers every year. Secretary Mining Amit Sharma directed that all steps must be taken immediately to organise a grand Global Auction event for Sapphire sale so that this rare gem discovered on the hills of J&K can fetch best sale proceeds through it.
GM J&K Minerals requested for allotment of few more Minor Mineral Blocks by the Government as per last Board Meeting decision which can help in adjusting Kalakote Coal Mine Workers in such blocks, as the work of mining has reduced substantially in Coal Mines due to lot of coal extraction taking place continuously over last few years.
Before the culmination, Secretary Amit Sharma directed MD J&K Minerals to introduce maximum technological interventions for bringing more efficiency in operations of the Corporation leading towards total transparency and best outcomes. He assured that Government will support all positive steps being taken for making this oldest Corporation of J&K to new heights.
