Over a month after quarrying and crushing units across the State were ordered to shut business following two powerful blasts in different locations resulting in the death of 14 persons, the State government on Monday allowed resumption of quarrying and crushing activities with a rider. While the department issued a circular allowing stone mining on Monday, it has asked for a letter of undertaking from quarry and crushing unit owners that they would abide by rules and regulations. They have been asked to submi, within 90 days, an NoC from the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) to use explosives. Over 2,500 quarries and crushers had been asked to stop business following the blast in Shivamogga on January 22, where eight persons succumbed, and another at Chickballapur on February 24 that killed six persons.
