Kudremukh area is a biodiversity hotspot , with Kudremukh national park nearby . The mining lease was temporarily extended , however , it was completely stopped in 2006 due to environmental reasons . In 2016 KIOCL planned to develop a commercial resort in the Kudremukh national park , refurbishing some of its buildings , unused since the closure of the mine . The project had not obtained an environmental clearance . In October 2016 the Ministry of Environment and Forests ordered to immediately stop the work .
