In Darbhanga, the mining inspector was suspended after Revenue Vijay Sinha action over irregularities in mining operations. The suspension follows a crackdown on illegal mining in the district. Officials confirmed the move aims to punish wrongdoing and improve accountability.
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, who oversees mining, said strict action will continue against those involved in illegal excavation and transport of minerals. “The goal is to take action against real offenders without troubling honest miners,” he added.
The government has also warned that any officials helping illegal miners will face consequences. This step is part of a broader effort to make mining activities transparent and lawful across Bihar.
Additionally, a state-wide awareness camp on mining rules will be held on January 16. The camp will educate citizens, traders, and stakeholders about legal mining, transportation, and storage of minerals.
The Deputy CM urged people to report illegal mining activities to department helplines. Citizens’ reports will help authorities act quickly against offenders.
With this move, Darbhanga mining inspector suspended after Revenue Vijay Sinha action sends a strong message about zero tolerance for illegal mining.
