The Mining scam in Goa doesn’t have any similarities with mining scam in Karnataka. The iron ore mined in the state of Karnataka is processed by state controlled public sector units. Almost 70 percent of the ore is processed by them in Karnataka. Whereas, in Goa, the mining industries is fully handled by private parties, which are controlled by group of families and they are Salgaocars, Timblo,Chowgules and Sesa Goa. Among all the major miners in Goa, only Sesa Goa declares their financial figures in public.
It is also noted that illegal mined iron ore from Karnataka was transported to the ports in Goa and exported with the help of authorities in Goa. There is a huge difference in the data provided by the Murmagao Port Trust officials, the state miners and the mining department for exports of iron ore from Goa.
