The recent rise in the illegal mining activities has put the government on its toes. Several measures are being taken by the government to curb the illegal activities. “Recently, the government announced the launch of new technology to help officials track the illegal mining activities,” says Vaikundarajan, founder of VV Minerals India.
In another incident surrounding the illegal activities, some activists in Tamil Nadu have filed a complaint with a video to support the claims. “The site in question is a quarry on the banks of Cauvery river in Karur licensed by the state government. The activists have claimed that the quarry is being used over its assigned capacity,” informs Vaikundarajan.
