Kerala vows strong opposition to Centre's mining amendment Bill

Kerala's Chief Minister Satheesan has announced the state's strong opposition to the Centre's mining amendment Bill. He described the legislation as a serious encroachment on the state's constitutional powers over land and warned it poses a grave threat to India's federal structure.

The CM's statement reflects Kerala's concern that the proposed amendment would curtail state autonomy in managing land and mineral resources, a matter traditionally under state jurisdiction.
