Uttarakhand Mining Scam: Kosi River Illegal Mining Exposed – Operation Sarkar

Table of Contents

Illegal mining ​activities in Uttarakhand are raising serious concerns, notably regarding violations of the Uttarakhand Minor Mineral Rules 2023. Specifically, rules 49(a) and 38(c) appear to be⁢ consistently disregarded.

investigations reveal a disturbing pattern of unchecked excavation ⁢within permitted mining areas. Boundaries are often not⁣ clearly ​demarcated, allowing for extensive digging far beyond authorized limits – sometimes several meters deep around support pillars. This blatant disregard for regulations is deeply troubling.

Furthermore,reports indicate that mining operations are occurring⁣ dangerously ⁤close to bridge supports. Removing sand and gravel from these critical⁣ areas‍ compromises structural integrity and directly​ endangers public safety. It’s a reckless gamble with people’s ​lives.

I’ve found‍ that the issue isn’t new. Concerns ‍about illegal mining in Uttarakhand were publicly voiced several months ago by a Member of Parliament, raising ‌questions about the effectiveness of oversight and enforcement. This suggests a deeply entrenched network of influence.

Here’s what works best when addressing these ‍issues: a thorough investigation is needed⁢ to determine the extent of the problem and⁤ identify those responsible. It’s becoming increasingly clear that powerful individuals, possibly including those in‍ positions of authority, may be involved.

The situation⁣ demands ⁣decisive‌ action from the state government. You deserve assurance⁣ that your safety and the preservation ‍of Uttarakhand’s natural resources are prioritized.

Here’s a ‌breakdown of the key issues:

* Rule Violations: Clear breaches of Uttarakhand Minor Mineral Rules 2023, specifically 49(a) ​and 38(c).
* ⁤ Unmarked Boundaries: Lack of defined limits within mining ⁤leases, ⁢leading to over-excavation.
* ⁣ Structural Risk: Mining near bridge pillars jeopardizes infrastructure and public safety.
* Potential Collusion: Allegations of involvement‍ by influential figures and “white-collar” criminals.

Ultimately, the people of Uttarakhand⁣ are waiting to see when the Chief Minister will take strong, definitive steps against those exploiting the region‌ and endangering the surroundings. The future of the state and the well-being of its citizens depend on it.

“बड़ी ⁢बात ये कि पट्टे वाले इलाके में कोई सीमा चिह्नित नहीं. खंभे के चारों तरफ कई मीटर की गहराई तक खुदाई- नियमों का खुला उल्लंघन. ये अंधेरगर्दी नहीं तो क्या?⁣ माफियाओं ने ब्रिज के पिलर के⁤ आसपास रेत खाली⁢ कर दी- लोगों की जिंदगी से खिलवाड़ कर रहे हैं. चंद महीने पहले हरिद्वार ​सांसद त्रिवेंद्र सिंह रावत ने उत्तराखंड में अवैध खनन‌ को लेकर धामी सरकार पर उंगली उठाई⁤ थी. मतलब खनन माफियाओं की जड़ें बहुत गहरी हैं. ⁣इसमें सफेदपोश ​भी शामिल हैं. अब देखना ये है कि मुख्यमंत्री धामी ⁤देवभूमि के दुश्मनों और कोसी के दोषियों के खिलाफ कब कड़ा एक्शन ⁣लेंगे.”
