State Bureau, Dehradun. Amidst the increasing complaints of illegal mining in the state, the government has decided to activate the mining task force formed at the district level. Under this, instructions are being given to all the districts to ensure that they take effective action against illegal mining. A task force was formed in the state in the year 2023 with the aim of effectively controlling illegal mining. This task force has been formed at the headquarters, district and tehsil level. The command of the district level task force was handed over to the officer nominated from the District Magistrate level. However, for some time now this system has not been functioning actively in most of the districts. As a result, cases of illegal mining are coming to light from time to time.
Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan has drawn the attention of the Mining Department towards this. In view of this, the government has now issued a letter to all the districts asking them to activate the Mining Task Force with immediate effect. The task force includes officers from administration, police, mining department and revenue department, who have to jointly carry out raids, surveillance and enforcement actions. Along with this, the task force is also responsible for conducting regular inspection campaigns in cases of illegal mining, transportation and storage and taking strict punitive action against the culprits. In the meeting held a few days ago, the Chief Secretary has also given instructions to increase special surveillance and night patrolling in sensitive areas. Secretary Mining BK Sant said that instructions are being given to all the districts in this regard, however, the District Magistrates themselves should continuously campaign against illegal mining at their own level.
