Uttarakhand Police has intensified its operations against illegal mining in the state’s rivers, seizing machinery and registering multiple cases. These activities, which degrade river ecosystems, have been a longstanding issue in the region. Recent raids led to significant confiscations, including heavy equipment used for unauthorized mining.
This crackdown demonstrates the police’s resolve to protect the environment and uphold the law. Public awareness campaigns are also being launched to educate communities about the detrimental effects of illegal mining.
