The Cabinet convened to discuss key amendments to the state’s mining policy. The proposed changes aim to assist farmers whose fields were flooded during recent monsoon rains.

Under the revised policy, these farmers would be allowed to extract and sell sand that has been deposited on their land due to the floods.
