No decision by Central govt on uranium mining: Kishan Reddy

Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy criticised the Congress and TRS for blaming the Centre on the issue of Uranium exploration and mining.

Addressing media here on Tuesday, he said that the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) was given approval for conducting research exploration by the then Congress government in United Andhra Pradesh and later by the TRS-led State government in 2016.

The Central agencies have been conducting research exploration on the identification and existence of different minerals across the country from the time of independence.

Similarly, the Central agencies have given approvals by the State government in United AP and later by the Telangana government to conduct research and exploration of uranium in the Nallamala forest.

However, when there is some opposition to the issue both of them are washing away their hands and throwing the blame on the Centre.
