  • Govt. of Gujarat has informed that there are orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in force which restrain any mining activity within 10 Kms of the old boundary of Narayan Sarovar Wild life Sanctuary. These blocks fall within this periphery and hence should be withdrawn at present.
      • Accordingly, it is regretted that these three lignite blocks stand withdrawn from the offer list as of now.
