The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), led by leader of opposition Manohar Parrikar, has blown the lid off probably the biggest mining scam of all times in Goa.
It has found that almost half of the active iron ore mines in the state were illegal and have caused an estimated loss of Rs 3,000 crore to the exchequer since 2005. The PAC will table its report in the legislative Assembly on October 6.
