- (b) if so, the details thereof; and
- (c) the steps taken by the Government for checking the said illegal mining?

## ANSWER

## THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  POWER,  COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

(a) & (b): As  per  section  23C  of  the  Mines  and  Minerals  (Development  and Regulation) (MMDR) Act, 1957, State Governments have been empowered to make rules for preventing illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals.

However based on the quarterly returns on illegal mining submitted by various state  governments  to  Indian  Bureau  of  Mines  (IBM)  (a  subordinate  office  of  the Ministry),  details  of  instances  of  illegal  mining  (both  major  minerals  and  minor minerals)  reported  in  various  parts  of  the  country  and  the  action  taken  by  State Governments, for  the  last  three  years  i.e.  2013-14  to  2015-16  are  at  Annexure-I  to Annexure-III.

The information on illegal mining of iron ore and manganese as received from IBM is at Annexure-IV.

To check the illegal mining in the respective states, 22 State Governments have constituted task force and 20 State Governments have framed rules under section 23C of MMDR Act, 1957 to curb illegal mining.

(c) For controlling illegal mining in the country, the Central Government has interalia taken the following measures:

The  MMDR Act,  1957  was  amended  through  the  MMDR  Amendment  Act, 2015 which came into effect from 12th January, 2015. The Amendment Act has, inter alia,  stringent  punitive  provisions  for  combating  illegal  mining.  Illegal  mining  has been made punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years and with fine which may extend to five lakh rupees per hectare of the area. Provisions have been made for setting up of Special Courts for the purpose of providing speedy trial of offences relating to illegal mining.

The Central  Government  amended  Rule  45  of  the  Mineral  Conservation  and Development  Rules,  1988,  making  it  mandatory  for  all  miners,  traders,  stockists, exporters  and  end-users  to  register  with  the  Indian  Bureau  of  Mines  and  report  on tracking the movement of minerals to Indian Bureau of Mines and State Government as one of the measures to combat illegal mining.

Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM), has entered into a MoU with National Remote Sensing  Centre  (NRSC),  for  a  pilot  project  'Sudoor  Drushti'  to  demonstrate  the feasibility  of  using  High  Resolution  Satellite  imagery  and  Digital  Elevation  Model (DEM) in monitoring mining activities / changes over a period of time over selected group of mines.

The  Ministry  of  Mines,  through  Indian  Bureau  of  Mines,  has  developed  the Mining Surveillance System (MSS), in coordination with Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space  Applications  and  Geo-informatics (BISAG),  Gandhinagar  and  Ministry  of Electronics  and  Information  Technology  (MEITY),  to  use  space  technology  for curbing illegal mining activity in the country. The MSS is a satellite-based monitoring system which aims to establish a regime of responsive mineral administration, through public participation, by curbing instances of illegal mining activity through automatic remote sensing detection technology.
