What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Supreme Court directed the Rajasthan government to establish a Special Investigation Team within three days to investigate organized illegal bajri mining in the Luni, Jojari, and Bandi rivers and their tributaries. The SIT must examine the networks involved and whether public officials facilitated the illegal extraction and sale of gravel. Additionally, the Court restrained the State from issuing permissions for new industrial units near the riverine ecosystem until scientific buffer zones are determined.
