Illegal sand mining in the desert areas of Rajasthan has been a major environmental and social concern. Rajasthan Police, in collaboration with local authorities, have begun a large-scale crackdown against sand miners who are exploiting the state’s natural resources. The police have been seizing equipment, arresting illegal miners, and shutting down unauthorized mining sites.
In addition to its environmental impact, illegal sand mining has led to severe water shortages and disruptions in the local ecosystem. Rajasthan Police are working to prevent further illegal activity by increasing patrols in vulnerable desert regions and raising awareness about the legal ways to access sand and other natural resources.
