Mines minister Pralhad Joshi on Tuesday said a Group of Ministers (GoM) will shortly submit a report on resumption of mining in Goa to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Mining came to a halt in Goa in March last year after the Supreme Court quashed 88 leases and banned extraction of fresh iron ore.

When asked how soon can one see resumption of mining operations in Goa, the minister said, "GoM is seized of the matter. We are consulting a legal expert."
