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.”
