flag India’s 2025 uranium mining rule change sparks tribal resistance in Meghalaya.

flag A September 2025 central government memorandum exempting uranium mining from public hearings in Meghalaya has sparked strong opposition from local tribal groups, including the Khasi Students’ Union and Hynniewtrep Youth Council. flag The move, which removes mandatory public consultations under the Mines and Minerals Act for atomic minerals, is seen as undermining indigenous rights and environmental safeguards in uranium-rich areas like West Khasi Hills. flag Communities, wary of health and ecological risks linked to past mining, warn of intensified resistance if projects proceed. flag The National People’s Youth Front urged the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council to use its constitutional powers to protect tribal land. flag Past attempts to develop mines have stalled for over two decades due to sustained protests.
