SDO fears damage to bundhs & stone studs may flood residential areas, agri land

Yamunanagar: Despite efforts of the district authorities to stop illegal mining, the activity is going on unabated in the Pathrala rivulet in Jaitpur and Nagli villages, close to bundhs and stone studs built by the Irrigation Department to protect residential areas and agricultural land.

On the complaint of Vinod Kumar, Sub Divisional Officer (SDO), Water Services Division, Jagadhri, two separate cases have been registered against the owners of some screening plants under Section 21 (4) of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation of Development) Act and other charges at the Bilaspur police station on March 15.

The complainant said he inspected the illegal mining sites along with an inspector in Jaitpur and Nagli villages on February 21, 2022. “We found that illegal mining was being carried out by the owners of some screening plants close to the bundhs and stone studs constructed by Irrigation Department in the Pathrala river in Jaitpur and Nagli villages.”

“In case of damage to the stone studs (flood protection), the natural flow of the river may change its course and destroy the agricultural land and residential areas of Jaitpur and Nagli villages. Therefore, we have got two separate FIRs registered in this connection,” the complainant alleged.

Earlier, on the complaint of Kedar Prasad Prajapat, Assistant Director, Directorate of Enforcement, Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, a case was registered against M/S Alchemist Infra Realty Limited and its promoter under Sections 188 and 120B of the IPC and Section 21 (4) of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation of Development) Act at the Bilaspur police station of Yamunanagar district on March 9.
