A woman tehsildar had a narrow escape from being mowed down by an earth extractor machine in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas district on Tuesday when she tried to stop illegal mining. The incident comes barely a month after an IPS Officer Narendra Kumar was crushed to death by the mining mafia in Morena.

Acting on a tip-off on largescale illegal mining in the district, the tehsildar, Meena Pal, rushed to Kusmania village along with other officials. Caught offguard, one of the drivers of the JCB extractor machine sped towards Pal. The tehsildar managed to escape unhurt.

"Initially, we have registered a case against the JCB driver and others for assault or use of criminal force to deter public servant from discharging duty," police said.

Local contractor Tara Singh Patel is alleged to be the man behind the illegal quarrying in the area. There has been a spate of attacks on government officials by the mining mafia in the state in the past few months.

In Panna district on March 11, the mining mafia opened indiscriminate fire at officials. This after police swooped down on the outlaws for illegal construction of a bridge used to transport mined sand to UP. The clampdown resulted in the arrest of a group of the stone mafia.

Officials have intensified their offensive against the stone mafia in the state. On Monday, water resource and mining department officials raided the catchment area of river Kosi in Betul district after reports of illegal sand mining. A fine of Rs 41.76 lakh was slapped on a construction company carrying out a four-lane road work from Betul to Nagpur.
