The district administration today began a campaign to check illegal mining across the district.
Deputy Commissioner Isha Kalia said Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Sunday announced ‘Mission Clean’ and directed that strict action should be taken against unscrupulous elements indulging in illicit practices related to sand mining. Various teams of mining officials of the district today visited four mining and desilting sites in the district to weed out illegal mining at Mirzapur, Kakrala, Bhankarpur and Sarangpur.
Isha added the state government had fixed sand rates at Rs 9 cubic feet on the mining spots throughout the state and strict adherence to the fixed rate would be ensured in the district. She urged the people to come forward and lodge their complaints with the Deputy Commissioner’s office, if they had any inputs about illegal mining.
