&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Faced
with allegations of illegal mining in at least seven states, the 
government has proposed an independent regulatory authority with powers 
to investigate and prosecute those indulging in such activities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The proposed National Mining Regulatory Authority (NMRA) will replace
the Indian Bureau of Mines, the current regulatory body, which 
according to the law ministry has not been effective. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NMRA is set to be given sweeping powers, including rejection of orders passed by the Centre and state governments.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to the draft prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM) 
looking into the matter, the authority will have the powers of a civil 
court and its officials will have responsibilities similar to state 
police.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The authority has been empowered to impose a fine of Rs five lakh on 
those to be convicted by it. &amp;ldquo;In case of a second or subsequent offence 
the fine may extend to Rs 10 lakh and in cases of continuing 
contravention, it may extend to Rs five lakh for each day the default 
continues,&amp;rdquo; says the draft law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Officers of the NMRA, in carrying out the functions of 
investigations and prosecution shall have all the powers, duties, 
privileges and liabilities which the police of that state have in 
connection with investigation of offences,&amp;rdquo; states section 65 of the 
Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2010.&amp;nbsp;The 
authority will have to dispose off the case filed before it within six 
months and no appeal shall be allowed against its order, if both parties
give consent to the verdict.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 15-member body to be headed by a chairperson, will have seven 
expert members and seven judicial members, none of them below 55 years 
of age.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Faced
with allegations of illegal mining in at least seven states, the 
government has proposed an independent regulatory authority with powers 
to investigate and prosecute those indulging in such activities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The proposed National Mining Regulatory Authority (NMRA) will replace
the Indian Bureau of Mines, the current regulatory body, which 
according to the law ministry has not been effective. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NMRA is set to be given sweeping powers, including rejection of orders passed by the Centre and state governments.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to the draft prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM) 
looking into the matter, the authority will have the powers of a civil 
court and its officials will have responsibilities similar to state 
police.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The authority has been empowered to impose a fine of Rs five lakh on 
those to be convicted by it. &amp;ldquo;In case of a second or subsequent offence 
the fine may extend to Rs 10 lakh and in cases of continuing 
contravention, it may extend to Rs five lakh for each day the default 
continues,&amp;rdquo; says the draft law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Officers of the NMRA, in carrying out the functions of 
investigations and prosecution shall have all the powers, duties, 
privileges and liabilities which the police of that state have in 
connection with investigation of offences,&amp;rdquo; states section 65 of the 
Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2010.&amp;nbsp;The 
authority will have to dispose off the case filed before it within six 
months and no appeal shall be allowed against its order, if both parties
give consent to the verdict.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 15-member body to be headed by a chairperson, will have seven 
expert members and seven judicial members, none of them below 55 years 
of age.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Faced
with allegations of illegal mining in at least seven states, the 
government has proposed an independent regulatory authority with powers 
to investigate and prosecute those indulging in such activities.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The proposed National Mining Regulatory Authority (NMRA) will replace
the Indian Bureau of Mines, the current regulatory body, which 
according to the law ministry has not been effective. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NMRA is set to be given sweeping powers, including rejection of orders passed by the Centre and state governments.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to the draft prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM) 
looking into the matter, the authority will have the powers of a civil 
court and its officials will have responsibilities similar to state 
police.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The authority has been empowered to impose a fine of Rs five lakh on 
those to be convicted by it. &amp;ldquo;In case of a second or subsequent offence 
the fine may extend to Rs 10 lakh and in cases of continuing 
contravention, it may extend to Rs five lakh for each day the default 
continues,&amp;rdquo; says the draft law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Officers of the NMRA, in carrying out the functions of 
investigations and prosecution shall have all the powers, duties, 
privileges and liabilities which the police of that state have in 
connection with investigation of offences,&amp;rdquo; states section 65 of the 
Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2010.&amp;nbsp;The 
authority will have to dispose off the case filed before it within six 
months and no appeal shall be allowed against its order, if both parties
give consent to the verdict.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 15-member body to be headed by a chairperson, will have seven 
expert members and seven judicial members, none of them below 55 years 
of age.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The proposed National Mining Regulatory Authority (NMRA) will replace
the Indian Bureau of Mines, the current regulatory body, which 
according to the law ministry has not been effective. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NMRA is set to be given sweeping powers, including rejection of orders passed by the Centre and state governments.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;According to the draft prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM) 
looking into the matter, the authority will have the powers of a civil 
court and its officials will have responsibilities similar to state 
police.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The authority has been empowered to impose a fine of Rs five lakh on 
those to be convicted by it. &amp;ldquo;In case of a second or subsequent offence 
the fine may extend to Rs 10 lakh and in cases of continuing 
contravention, it may extend to Rs five lakh for each day the default 
continues,&amp;rdquo; says the draft law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Officers of the NMRA, in carrying out the functions of 
investigations and prosecution shall have all the powers, duties, 
privileges and liabilities which the police of that state have in 
connection with investigation of offences,&amp;rdquo; states section 65 of the 
Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2010.&amp;nbsp;The 
authority will have to dispose off the case filed before it within six 
months and no appeal shall be allowed against its order, if both parties
give consent to the verdict.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 15-member body to be headed by a chairperson, will have seven 
expert members and seven judicial members, none of them below 55 years 
of age.&lt;/font&gt;

New mining authority to have more teeth

Facedwith allegations of illegal mining in at least seven states, the government has proposed an independent regulatory authority with powers to investigate and prosecute those indulging in such activities. The proposed National Mining Regulatory Authority (NMRA) will replacethe Indian Bureau of Mines, the current regulatory body, which according to the law ministry has not been effective. The NMRA is set to be given sweeping powers, including rejection of orders passed by the Centre and state governments. According to the draft prepared by the Group of Ministers (GoM) looking into the matter, the authority will have the powers of a civil court and its officials will have responsibilities similar to state police. The authority has been empowered to impose a fine of Rs five lakh on those to be convicted by it. “In case of a second or subsequent offence the fine may extend to Rs 10 lakh and in cases of continuing contravention, it may extend to Rs five lakh for each day the default continues,” says the draft law. “Officers of the NMRA, in carrying out the functions of investigations and prosecution shall have all the powers, duties, privileges and liabilities which the police of that state have in connection with investigation of offences,” states section 65 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2010. The authority will have to dispose off the case filed before it within six months and no appeal shall be allowed against its order, if both partiesgive consent to the verdict. The 15-member body to be headed by a chairperson, will have seven expert members and seven judicial members, none of them below 55 years of age.
