The Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC) will be tasked with conducting a scientific survey of mines and quarries in Chamarajanagar district.
This was stated by the district in-charge Minister V. Somanna on Friday after a meeting with officials from various departments including representatives from the Department of Mines and Geology.
Mr. Somanna said though the State Government conducted a survey of encroachment of land and mining activity in the past it was not deemed to be scientific enough and came under flak. Hence the KSRSAC was vested with the responsibility of conducting a survey for Bengaluru urban and Kolar. ‘’I have spoken to the officials concerned and now the same remote sensing survey will also be conducted in Chamarajanagar’’, the Minister added.
