Haryana's Battle Against Illegal Mining Intensifies

The Haryana government has enhanced efforts to combat illegal mining by utilizing drones and advanced technology for surveillance, seizing vehicles, and imposing fines. Despite media claims of a Rs 2,200 crore loss, authorities insist these reports are baseless. Coordination between Haryana and Rajasthan aims to resolve mining disputes.

The Haryana government is intensifying its crackdown on illegal mining activities across the state. Inspections and surveillance have been heightened with the use of drones and advanced technology to identify unlawful operations, an official statement revealed on Thursday.

Authorities are not only registering FIRs against culprits but also imposing substantial fines. The administration's efforts are complemented by the seizure of vehicles involved in illegal mining, reaffirming its commitment to enforcing the law.

Reports claiming a massive loss of Rs 2,200 crore due to illegal mining in Rawa village have been dismissed as baseless. Haryana and Rajasthan are coordinating to settle interstate boundary disputes that have been exploited for encroachment, solidifying efforts to curb illegal activities.
