The Assam Police continue their crackdown on illegal rat-hole mining operations in the region. In the latest operation, six individuals were arrested for their involvement in the illegal mining activities that have been causing significant environmental harm. Authorities have ramped up their efforts to curb illegal mining, which has been a major issue in the state’s mining sector, with unregulated and unsafe mining methods being employed.
The police are working in coordination with environmental agencies to enforce laws that protect both the local ecosystem and the safety of workers. The arrests highlight the ongoing battle to eliminate these illegal practices and ensure sustainable mining practices in the state.
