SAD asks Ropar, Mohali DCs to act against Cong leaders indulging in illegal mining

Chandigarh, Nov 19 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Tuesday said Congress leaders were directly responsible for illegal mining activities in Nangal, Kharar and the Zirakpur-Dera Bassi belt and asked the Ropar and Mohali Deputy Commissioners to identify and prosecute them.
In a statement here, former MP and General Secretary of SAD Prem Singh Chandumajra said the recent seizure of an advanced excavator at Chhat village and complaints of collection of 'goonda' tax in the Zirakpur-Dera Bassi belt to the district administration were proof of illegal mining being done in the area, in connivance with Congress leaders.
''As per the complaints made to the Mohali Deputy Commissioner by stone-crusher owners, sand mafia is collecting goonda tax amounting to Rs 2,000 to Rs 8,000 per truck from them,'' alleged the SAD Spokesperson.
