JAMMU, Mar 12: On the directions of SSP Jammu, SP South continuing its operation code-named "Ploughing", aimed at cracking down on illegal mining activities across the region. The operation was led by SDPO South and SDPO East, with SHOs and ICPPs of South Zone executing targeted enforcement actions against violators. Over the last 48 hours ie last two days, South Zone has made seven major seizures, dealing a decisive blow to illegal mineral extraction.
The most significant seizure took place at PP Belicharana, where one excavator (Poclain) along with one JCB was seized while engaged in illegal mining at River Tawi.

This action marks a major step in protecting the environment from the devastating effects of unauthorized mining.
Additionally, Police Station Bagh-e-Bahu seized two dumpers loaded with RBM (River Bed Material) being transported illegally, while PP Phallian Mandal seized two tractor trolleys involved in unauthorized mining. Furthermore, PP Gadi Garh seized one tractor trolley loaded with boulders, adding to the multiple enforcement actions taken to curb mineral smuggling. The DMO, Jammu has been informed for necessary legal action.
