Sandeep Singh Sunny, Mukerian union president, said till the mining policy was not implemented by the state government, work should continue as before and tipper owners and drivers should not be harassed.

He said all challans of tippers and the FIRs on drivers and owners should be cancelled. He alleged in Himachal and Punjab, illegal collection was being done by stopping tippers at night.
