The AAP had submitted a memorandum to the Punjab Governor last month alleging illegal mining was prevalent in Chamkaur Sahib at the behest of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and sought a probe. The Governor had asked the Punjab DGP to probe the matter.
After conducting an inquiry, the district administration in its report submitted to the ADGP-cum-Enforcement Director, Mining, had stated they could not comment on it as there was no report or complaint in their record regarding involvement of Chief Minister’s relatives.
