Chandigarh, May 21
‘Voices against illegal mining’, a social advocacy group formed to protest illegal mining of minor minerals in Punjab, has implored Governor Banwarilal Purohit to withhold the State Minor Mineral Policy-2023, announced by the Aam Aadmi Party government in March.
Representatives of the group met the Governor and handed him a memorandum, alleging that the policy as well as the district survey reports are flawed on many counts and these should be withheld till all the shortcomings are resolved.
