“Day before yesterday, newspapers carried reports on illegal mining along rivers Sutlej and Ravi. The Vidhan Sabha is on its last legs, but illegal mining issue still holds. The Chief Minister had said in this House that there would be zero tolerance to illegal mining in this government. However, government administration and people in power are openly doing illegal mining,” said Sharma. The Pathankot MLA further said that media houses that report on illegal mining are being threatened and warned.
