On Monday, Nuh police in Haryana, India, took significant action against illegal mining by destroying at least six access roads in the Aravalli range near Hathan village. This operation was executed by a joint team from the police, mining, and forest departments, utilizing five earthmovers to dig trenches and render the roads unusable for vehicles involved in illegal mining. Krishan Kumar, the public relations officer of Nuh police, stated that this crackdown followed numerous complaints about illegal mining activities over the past month, alongside drone surveillance that uncovered these unauthorized roads. A recent landslide, reported by local villagers, also raised concerns about the environmental impact of illegal mining, leading to intensified monitoring. This operation marks the second major effort in two months to dismantle illegal mining pathways in the area. Continuous drone surveillance is planned to further combat illegal mining activities in the protected Aravalli range.
