In a major crackdown against illegal mining activities and unauthorised processing of mined material, the Kathua district administration on Sunday closed down 25 stone crushers.

The action was initiated by Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rakesh Minhas after conducting physical verification and assessing the working of stone crusher units operating in the district. The spokesperson said earlier a team of the Mining Department was deputed at various places from where a large number of complaints of illegal mining were received at the Deputy Commissioner office.
