While the Shah
commission has started its investigation into illegal mining in the Mining
circles of Joda and Koira, the state government has taken some measures to show
its commitment to stop illegal mining.
The Joda deputy
Director of Mines under the steel and
Mines department has sent penalty notice to as many as 27 mines owners of an aggregate
amount of Rs.57,904 crore 54 lakh for raising minerals beyond the permitted
amount thereby violating the MMDR act and MC Rules.
Under these rules the miners have to submit
their advance mining plan like how much minerals would be excavated on each
year. The miners can raise that particular amount of mineral after getting its
mining plan approved by the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM). For raising minerals
beyond the permitted limit the miner has to get necessary permission from the union
Forest and Environment Ministry and the state government.
Tata get the maximum
32,851 crore penalty notice followed by Sharda mines of Rs2845.58 crore, Jajang
mines of Rungta of 1046 crore. Rungta’s Silijoda mines has got penalty notice
of Rs.552.27 crore, R.P.Sao Rs.3872.61 lakh. The Aditya Birla Controlled Essel
Mining’s Jilling mines has got penalty notice of Rs.3387.22 crore.

Although miners claim that all the statutory permissions have been taken from the concerned department before ore had been excavated and sold. According to them these figures are fictitious and baseless and if required they will move to the court.
