GURUGRAM: The Nuh police have been placed on high alert following a blast in Rava village on the Haryana-Rajasthan border, where the mining mafia allegedly detonated a hillock in the protected Aravalli range on December 17.
Officials said explosives were used to dismantle the hillock, raising concerns about illegal mining activities in the ecologically sensitive region. According to the superintendent of police (SP), Vijay Pratap Singh, a case was registered on December 23 by the Haryana State Mining Department under sections 21(1) and 303(2) of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.
"Initial investigations suggest leaseholders from Rajasthan were responsible for the blast, and there is no evidence of illegal mining in Haryana's jurisdiction," Singh added.
