Haryana CM issues strict directives to curb illegal mining, ensure CCTV surveillance
Chandigarh: Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has issued a slew of directives to put an end to rampant illegal mining in the state. He has called for the installation of CCTV cameras in areas where mining is undertaken for round-the-clock surveillance. He has made it clear that stringent action must be taken against anyone still found engaged in illegal mining. The CM was holding a review meeting with officials of the mines and geology department Monday. Mines and geology minister Krishan Lal Panwar was also present in the meeting. Saini emphasised that to ensure timely revenue receipts from the state govt, the recovery of outstanding dues from mining companies should be completed within the next three months. Simultaneously, patrolling and surveillance activities should be intensified to completely eliminate illegal mining. He said the department has set a revenue target of Rs 1,400 crore for 2025-26 financial year, and all necessary steps must be taken to achieve this goal. No mining agency should have even a month's dues pending. In case of pending dues, a notice must be issued to the agency, and if they still fail to deposit the amount, appropriate action should be taken, he added. The CM also directed the formation of a high-level committee to investigate the reasons for suspended mines and recommend further action. In addition, he instructed that processes related to mines that have already been auctioned but have not yet started operations should be completed promptly. Commissioner and secretary (mines and geology), TL Satyaprakash, informed the meeting about the department's functioning and said constant monitoring is being done to prevent illegal mining. From April 1, 2024 to this June 11, a total of 3,274 vehicles involved in illegal mining were seized, and penalties amounting to Rs 13.50 crore were recovered from them, he added.
