The Andhra Pradesh Minister of Mines and Geology, Peethala Sujatha said that if the Central grants their approval for bauxite mining in the Vishakhapatnam agency regions, they will discuss the proposal with the locals. They plan to let the Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation take up bauxite mining as a joint venture if permission is granted.
Peethala holds that they have not changed their policies on bauxite mining, when questioned on the topic. They are just exploring the prospect of mining in the agency regions that too with prior permission from the Centre as well the local tribal population.
