Another major setback to The Punjab Government from the High Court on the mining issue

Chandigarh: While the Punjab and Haryana High Court has already come down heavily on the Punjab government over the issue of mining, the court has now passed another order restraining any private contractor or government from carrying out mining without getting environmental clearance. 

The high court’s order came after the issue of mining sites operating in Ferozepur block 3 reached the high court and the private contractor has accused the government of illegal mining. The private contractor said that the environment clearance is in his name and the Punjab government is running illegal mining in his name.
