The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
Reclamation of mined areas is the process of restoring land that has been disturbed by mining to a condition that is similar to its original state. This can be done by removing the waste rock and debris, planting trees and other vegetation, and restoring the soil.
Adoption of cleaner mining technologies can help to reduce the environmental impact of mining. These technologies can include using less water, using less energy, and producing less waste.
Community participation in decision-making can help to ensure that the interests of the community are taken into account when decisions about mining are made. This can be done by involving the community in the planning process, by providing information about the mining project, and by listening to the concerns of the community.
All of these efforts are important in balancing economic development with environmental protection in Meghalaya’s mining sector.
