Birla Corp suspends mining in Rajasthan

Birla Corporation on Saturday said the company had suspended limestone mining in Rajasthan following a court order.

“The High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan at Jodhpur has directed that no mining should take place in the mining leases within the area of 10 km from the Chittorgarh fort,” the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.

“The company is taking necessary legal measures for revocation of the above stay order of the high court,” the company said.
