COPE reviews directives issued to Geological Survey & Mines Bureau

Member of Parliament Professor Ranjith Bandara, Chairman of the Committee on Public Enterprise (COPE) took stern exception at the non-compliance of the Board of Directors of the Geological Survey & Mines Bureau,  that despite this being the third time it was summoned before the committee, no redress had been made for outstanding issues. The Chairman especially voiced his displeasure at the fact that this entity had the unceremonious honor of having the highest number of public petitions against them amongst other Public Enterprises.

Inconsistency in rehabilitating lands that have been excavated and collection of license fees were among the directives that had not been addressed
