Rukum (East), Dec 11: A comprehensive study has been initiated again to excavate iron mines in Rukum (East).
A feasibility study has been
initiated for excavation since last week following detection of iron mine in
Bhume rural municipality.
A team consisting of geologists of
the Department of Mines and Geology Sujan Devkota and Saunak Bhandari started
carrying out feasibility study in Bhume rural municipality-3, Jhumlabang.
The task of comprehensive study did
not gain momentum in the past due to financial reason. Bhume Chairperson Hom
Prakash Shrestha informed that study has started in several places of the rural
municipality about iron mines.
Locals also informed that iron mine
excavations are taking place in the areas where iron mines were detected
earlier.
