What happened
On October 16, 2026, Charanjit Singh Channi visited a mining site in Ropar district, alleging illegal mining was continuing unabated in Punjab. He claimed that revenue generated from the site was not reaching the state exchequer but was instead going to Aam Aadmi Party leaders and the Punjab Chief Minister. Channi questioned the state government's claim of generating 20,000 crore annually from mining.
