15k tonnes uranium in 3 states
India will have a comfortable position in its indigenous uranium resources in the coming decade as it has established an additional 15,000 tonnes of uranium resources in Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Meghalaya, chairman, Atomic Energy Commission Dr Srikumar Banerjee said.
This additional resource has taken the country’s total uranium resources to a little more than 1,40,000 tonnes of Triuranium Octaoxide (U3O8), Mr Banerjee said. Triuranium Octaoxide is an oxide form of Uranium which is the most common chemical found in nature.
“Promising Uranium anomalies have been located in the Delhi Fold Belt and Lachhri in Rajasthan, Tertiary basin in Uttrakand, Mahakoshal meta sediments in MP and IOG Basin in Orissa,” Mr Banerjee said. Mohuldih Uranium Project in the Saraikela-Kharsawan district of Jharkhan and Tummalapalle Uranium Mining and Milling Project in Andhra Pradesh and Exploratory Mining in Karnataka are advancing, he said.

Mumbai
Oct. 31: A day after model Rinky Chaudhari’s mother alleged that she was not ready to marry boyfriend Sahil Mallik but was being pressurised by him, the police has got several corroborative statements supporting her claim.
According to the Goregaon police, the statements were gathered from Rinky’s friends, in whom she had confided her unwillingness to go ahead with the wedding. “We spoke to several of her friends and they have said that Rinky told them more than once that she did not want to get married. However, Mallik was pressurising her to marry him by the end of the year and it had led to tension between the two,” said an officer with the Goregaon police station. The development strengthens the case against Mallik who has been remanded to police custody till Thursday. Rinky’s medical reports have also suggested the possibility of murder, as the strangulation marks around her neck are not consistent with those observed in a suicide.
