Action against illegal miners, mineral carriers only: DMO Anantnag

Anantnag: District Mineral authorities Anantnag on Wednesday said that they are taking action against only those people involved in illegal extraction and carriage of minerals.

In a statement, the authorities said that no vehicles carrying minerals from legal sources and possessing valid challans are being seized.

“Action by way of seizure, compounding, realization of price of minerals is being taken against those vehicles, machines and instruments involved in illegal extraction and carriage of illegally extracted minerals,” the statement said.

DMO Anantnag, the statement said , actually has started acting tough against the illegal land miners during past fortnight which has not gone down well with the illegal miners and illegal mineral carriers who are now levelling baseless allegations  against the department.
