The Government has agreed with executives of Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited to set up a joint technical committee to resolve compliance issues that led to the suspension of the company's operations.
Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho announced the agreement on Tuesday, September 8, after hosting the firm's executives at his office to discuss concerns the ministry had raised.
The Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs suspended Tata Chemicals Magadi's mining and export activities on July 28 under the Mining Act, citing gaps in mineral beneficiation, royalty reconciliation, community development agreements, local employment and environmental compliance.
