The euphoria over the claim that around 3,000 tonnes of gold reserves, worth Rs 12 trillion, have been discovered in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district could not last even 24 hours, with the Geological Survey of India (GSI) clarifying on Saturday there had been no such discovery.
The GSI, headquartered in Kolkata, rebutted the claims of the Uttar Pradesh Directorate of Geology and Mining (UPDGM), and said “miscommunication” must have led to the wrong reporting of facts.
M Sridhar, director general of the GSI, said nobody in the agency gave any such data. He said 52,806 tonnes of gold ore was found in Sonbhadra district during the exploration work in 1998-2000. From this reserve, only 160 kg of gold can be extracted.
“There must have been some miscommunication of facts because of which the gold ore deposits have been overestimated. We have written a letter to Uttar Pradesh (UPDGM), stating the facts. The GSI has not estimated such kind of vast resource of gold deposits in Sonbhadra,” Sridhar said.

The UPDGM had said on Friday that gold deposits were found in Son Pahadi and Hardi areas of the district. Sridhar said while gold ore was found in the area during the GSI’s exploration work in 1998-2000, it had told the state government about the discovery in November last year.
Under the new regulation, which came into effect from 2015, the GSI has to inform the state government when ore deposits are discovered. Earlier, no such action was mandatory. In its report, the GSI estimated that only 3.03 gm of gold can be extracted from a tonne of ore. It also clarified that even the extraction amount was tentative and could not be established for certain.
Moreover, Sridhar said the deposits were spread across only 0.5 sq km in forest land, which made the mining of ore economically unviable. “When there are several mines nearby, we can club it into a block and then it makes sense to mine the ore. But in this case, the deposits are too small to make it viable for any company to mine it,” he said. The GSI usually prioritises its exploration work based on the needs of the Centre. While strategic minerals like tin, cobalt, lithium, beryllium, germanium, gallium, indium, tantalum, niobium, selenium, and bismuth are atop the list in GSI exploration, gold is another commodity on its priority list.
According to the World Gold Council, India has reserves of 630 tonnes of gold.

its like every month ONE SWAMI is caught for sexual activities..
ALL above big Swamis caught in this act... When will U guys WAKE up... Hindus need to understand and not fall trap to anybody...
JUst depend on GOD. To depend on GOD only, U need to learn WHO is GOD... IF U are HONEST, the GOD who created U & ME & all that EXISTS will GUIDE YOU...
STOP worry about your life with all the RAHU KALAAS and other KALASS its a game played with the one who is far from the TRUE CREATOR... When U recognize the TRUE CREATOR ... U will understand this JOYTHIS Deception like \this day is not good or that\"
STOP fearing... and LEARN who is TRUE GOD."
Idol worship is wrong and the people who run it will never say to YOU guys cos its a money making tool to fool those who doesnt look \WHO is their CREATOR\"
Unless U search for YOUR CREATOR of YOU and all that Exists... We all fall to such a way of deception in worship which make the creation like STONES as YOUR GOD or REACHING GOD (which seems that we are not using our god given intellect.)
The CREATOR says PONDER on ME ... He will Guide us ..But If we rely on IDOLs and other created objects as Gods then our Intellect is ZERO. NOTHING
God says HUMANs are Intellect than any of his CREATION, if we USE our Intellect... to HONESTLY look for HIM. He will Guide us. even if you are in deep jungle looking for HIM.
But people believe what is said and they doesnt use their intellect. which is pushing them FAR from the TRUE CREATOR.
Recognize YOUR lord and WORSHIP the CREATOR and not his CREATION... U will not fall to such pornist as your SWAMI. its not first ... U check your self... (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI) There is no image of God ... PONDER Y are U asking with the ImAGE which is LIFELESS>>> not even move hands and heads like us."
Dear Brothers,
Please learn from these endless incidents.
Hindu community is responsible for these incidences not only the Babas.
This is the consequences of Not allowing the priests to get marry.
the same thing happens with Christian churches.
Allow the priests to get married. As they would have families, they can understand the problem of worshippers, public
Otherwise you have to face the unfortunate consequences with our own sisters.
May God Guide
BOLO BABA PARAMANAND KI...
Now many might be dreaming to became SWAMI at-least once in life time to have free fun and enjoyment with support and protection of RSS/BJP goondas and politicians
LOL..!! The continuous news of HindusSanghis involved in rapes, molestation etc. and in return the reward to set them free, one can simply say- Bharat Mata ki Jai!
LOL>>>We are not saying ALL HINDUS ARE RAPISTS. BUT ALL RAPISITS ARE HINUDS.
Doesn't it sound similar to Terrorist/Muslim etc.
Parmanand ji Maharaj: We are all fortunate to have Narendra Modi and Baba Ramdev with us.
Baba Ramdev is out of depth now. My sincere advice with Swami Parmanand jee is do Dhyan for sometime to regain balance.
Baba Hari Das gave me the name \Parmanand\". I think it was a great joke because everyone started calling me \"Parmasean\"."
Seriously i dont know, who make them famous, why people go there..
Baba Parmanand is a \stud\". Literally Was sexually exploiting infertile women to.. A feat at his age."
Just look at sanskaari, oops I mean, tharki Baba Parmanand's age. But then I am probably being ageist!
There goes another Fake Godman.
