In fact, the helicopter, which has been flying low over the city, had caused panic among the people as it is fitted with electromagnetic equipment and has a loop of 15 – metre radius dropped down by a 45-metre long cable.

Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research of the Department of Atomic Energy (AMDER) has been surveying the area with prior permission from the district authorities for a possible availability of uranium in this region.

Office of Department of Atomic Energy, Hyderabad, confirmed to the Belgaum district administration that the helicopter was engaged in geophysical surveys in parts of Belgaum, Bagalkot and Bijapur districts of Karnataka and parts of Kolhapur district of Maharashtra.

    Way back in 2006, uranium deposits were discovered in and around Deshnur. However, the Atomic Minerals Division prioritized Cuddaph in AP and Deshnur was put on the back-burner. the energy needs of the country will lead to look at all the available resources and therefore this renewed interest. The deposits are crude ore, they need to be refined, so I presume the authorities will ensure the necessary safety.
    Here is a presentation by the Director of AMD about the exploration and status in the country
