In a significant move to curb illegal mining activities, Haryana has launched extensive field inspections targeting mining gate passes across the state. Special teams have been deployed to conduct thorough checks and verify the authenticity of transportation documents.
Intensified Field Operations
The mining department has significantly ramped up its surveillance efforts, with inspection teams working round-the-clock across various districts. These teams are conducting surprise checks at mining sites, weigh bridges, and transportation routes to ensure compliance with state regulations.
Gate Pass Verification Drive
Authorities are particularly focused on scrutinizing gate passes – the official documents required for transporting mined materials. The verification process includes:
- Cross-checking pass authenticity with digital records
- Verifying quantity and quality of transported materials
- Ensuring proper documentation and permits
- Checking for any discrepancies in transportation routes
Revenue Protection Measures
The crackdown comes amid concerns about potential revenue losses due to unauthorized mining operations. By tightening the scrutiny on gate passes, the government aims to prevent illegal transportation of minerals and ensure proper collection of royalties and taxes.
District-Level Monitoring
Field inspections are being conducted simultaneously in multiple districts, with special attention to areas known for mining activities. The teams are equipped with digital verification tools and are coordinating with local law enforcement agencies when necessary.
The intensified inspection regime reflects the state government's commitment to bringing transparency to the mining sector and preventing environmental degradation caused by unauthorized extraction activities.
