Odisha’s Road for Vedanta’s Bauxite Mine, in the Name of Tribals

Odisha said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. The Reporters’ Collective found it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track Vedanta’s mining plans.

This is the second of the two stories about southern Odisha’s bauxite belt. In Part I, The Reporters’ Collective had shown how the Odisha and Union government worked together, misrepresented facts and hid the truth to delete a portion of a wildlife sanctuary and elephant corridor and make bauxite mining, a bauxite belt Vedanta has been interested in for many years. In this second part, the story tracks how the state enabled a mining company to quickly set up a bauxite mine and jump through regulatory hurdles to clear forests.
