💨 Abstract

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has clarified that its decisions on mineral exploration, including potash, are driven by scientific and economic factors, not regional preferences. This response comes after a media report claiming Punjab was discriminated against in potash exploration. GSI asserted that it has conducted and is continuing potash exploration in Punjab as part of its national strategy, with recent projects initiated based on a request from the Punjab government.
