JAMMU, June 8: The Stone Crusher Owners Association (SCOA) today organized a meet of its core group under the chairmanship of its president, Vikram Randhawa, where a threadbare discussion was held on SRO-105.
Pertinent to mention here that during Governor’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir this year, SRO-105 was implemented on March 31 by the Geology and Mining Department imposing blanket ban on any sort of mining from anywhere bringing this vital construction industry to a standstill.
Later, the SCOA has approached the High Court which ordered status-quo on the implementation of the controversial SRO.
Addressing the meeting, Vikram said that few of the legislators raised the issue of revocation of SRO-105 in the ensuing Assembly and the Speaker Kavinder Gupta has ordered constitution of nine member committee which will submit its report before or on July 15, 2016.
Vikram said that the SCOA will fully cooperate with this committee and apprise them of the pros and cons of this SRO. It was also decided in the meeting that a general body meet of the association will take place on June 10 at Amar Singh Club at 11 am.
He appealed the members of the association to participate in the meeting to submit their respective views for further submission to the committee constituted by the Speaker.
Those present in the meeting include Prem Choudhary, Anil Gaind, Dev Choudhary, Sonam Deep Singh, KK Bhakhri, Rajinder Chib and Madan Choudhary.
