Vedanta Resources Plc And The Niyamgiri Region

EDM number 1902 in 2008-09, proposed by Diane Abbott on 15/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Asia, Environmental protection and Industry.

That this House supports the Kondh tribal people of Niyamgiri, India in opposing the British-listed company Vedanta Resources plc project to construct a bauxite mine in the area; recognises that the plans will cause immense irreversible environmental damage to an area of great conservation significance; further recognises that Niyamgiri is also the ancestral and spiritual home to thousands of people who depend on it for their food, livelihoods, culture and as the seat of their god; and calls on the Government to take action to prevent Vedanta Resources plc from constructing the bauxite mine in that area.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
