## THE STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 18 REGARDING ILLEGAL MINING OF SAND RAISED BY SHRI RAJESH VERMA, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR REPLY ON 02 ND  FEBRUARY, 2017.

(a)  to  (c):  As  per  Section  23C  of  the  Mines  and  Minerals  (Development  and  Regulation),  1957 (MMDR Act, 1957), State Governments have been empowered to frame rules for preventing illegal mining,  transportation  and  storage  of  minerals  for  the  purposes  connected  therewith.  Therefore, prevention and control of illegal mining comes under the legislative and administrative jurisdiction of State Governments.

However,  based  on  the  quarterly  returns  on  illegal  mining  submitted  by  various  State Governments to Indian Bureau of Mines, a subordinate office under the Ministry of Mines, statewise details of instances of illegal mining reported for the last three years along with the details of action taken against the offenders/criminals is given in Annexure-I, II & III.

For controlling illegal mining in the country, the Central Government has inter-alia 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  contains,  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 has amended Rule 45 of the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules, (MCDR) 1988, making it mandatory  for all miners, traders, stockists, exporters  and  end-users  of  minerals  to  register  and  report  on  the  production,  trade  and utilization  of  minerals  to  the  State  Government(s)  and  Indian  Bureau  of  Mines.  Up  to December, 2016, total 3848 mining leases excluding 31minor minerals have been registered online with IBM. IBM has suspended 210 mines for noncompliance and recommended 237 cases to State Governments for termination. Similarly, as regards to the status of registration of end users, traders, stockists and exporters, at the end of December, 2016 total 3207 units of end-users, 5162 number of traders, 1636 number of stockists and 856 number of exporters have been registered. Indian Bureau of Mines has also requested the State Governments not to issue transit passes for movement of minerals to unregistered operators.
- 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.
- State Governments have been asked to frame Rules under section 23C of Mines & Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 to enable them to provide for inspection, checking & search of minerals at the place of excavation, storage and during transit.  The Rules would also provide for establishment of check-post and weigh-bridges at important centers. So far 20  States  have  framed  Rules  namely,  Andhra  Pradesh,  Bihar,  Chhattisgarh  Goa,  Gujarat, Haryana,  Himachal  Pradesh,  Jammu  &  Kashmir,  Jharkhand,  Karnataka,  Madhya  Pradesh, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal & West Bengal.
- The Ministry of Mines, through Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM), has developed the Mining Surveillance  System (MSS), in  collaboration  with  Ministry  of  Electronics  and  Information Technology (MeitY) and Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and  Geoinformatics (BISAG), Gandhinagar, to use space technology for facilitating State Governments  in  curbing  illegal  mining  activities  in  the  country.  MSS  is  a  satellite-based monitoring  system  which  aims  to  establish  a  regime  of  responsive  mineral  administration, through public participation, by facilitating State Governments in curbing instances of illegal mining.  The  wider  use  of  Satellite  Remote  Sensing  Technology  together  with  Information Technolgy will offer quick, transparent and periodic monitoring of mining leases including easy access to remote areas. The MSS also includes user-friendly mobile application for use of  mining  officials  which  will  receive  alerts,  do  field  verification  and  submit  inspection reports.
