खनन पर "लुटते" ऊना को देखो लाइव

Una (Himachal Pradesh) : Illegal mining is going on in the Swan river resulting in more than 100 sand dumps that have come up on both banks of the river on 20-km stretch between Basal and Santoshgarh. These dumps, which have mushroomed for the first time, have failed to attract the attention of law enforcement agencies. Going by the size of the dumps, each one is capable of filling dozens of tippers in one go. According to the Himachal Pradesh Mining Act, sand can only be extracted from patches of land leased in the river. No heavy machinery can be used to extract sand and gravel. While both these rules are blatantly being flouted in the Swan, a new dimension in the form of sand dumps has recently come in. Since there are no visible markings of areas leased for mining, heavy machinery and tippers are extracting sand throughout the 700-metre width and 55-km length of the the river from Marwari in Gagret to Santoshgarh in Una distt.
