| DB issue notice in PIL against illegal Stone Crushers | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 13: In a Public Interest Litigation seeking direction to respondents to restrain the illegal operation of stone crushers in Doda, Division Bench of the State High Court comprising First Puisne Judge Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sanjay Kumar Gupta after hearing Adv Javid Iqbal, issued notice to Deputy Commissioner Doda, SSP Doda & Ors returnable within six weeks.
During the course of hearing Adv submitted that there were 12 Stone crushers which were operating illegally and were on official record of the district administration and there were many more illegal stone crushers and were nowhere on the official record of the district administration till date. These unauthorised/illegal operation are not only posing threats to the environment and ecology but also to the life and property of inhabitants of this area and there are every reasonable apprehensions this may eventually lead to a big natural calamity in near future.
That the illegal actions/ operations of these stone crushers has been number of times brought in to the notice of District administration through protests/ representation/ resolution from time to time, to the District administration but no action was taken against these illegally operating stone crushers till date and are still operating. The owners of these stone crushers are highly influential persons having the links with higher-up bureaucrats and politicians of the State who are running this business illegally and it seems as if are working under the patronage of the State.
It is pertinent to mention here in the year 2015 Govt issued guidelines for registration and operations of stone crushers and hot/wet mix plants Vide order No. 104-IND dated 14-07- 2015 through this order NOC from some more Departments were to be obtained for operation of stone crushers/ hot/wet mix plants but there was no response from any of the units, the Directorate of Geology and Mining vide office letter No. 449/MCC/DGM/MME and PR/17/35J 2-13 dated 22-08-2017 again issued directions to the Regional Offices that every operational minor mineral based plant shall obtain license within the stipulated time as notified vide SRO -302 dated 19-07-2017. |
