More mining means more Maoism:
Ranchi: ``More mining means more Maoism,'' Union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday said opposing the move by private firms to get clearance for iron ore mining in Jharkhand's Maoist-hit Saranda region.
Maoists were getting encouragement from civil society and support of well-minded citizens was required to stem the menace, West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan said on Friday.
