PITHORAGARH: The Uttarakhand high court has suspended all mining activities in Bageshwar district with immediate effect following a report on damages caused to houses due to sandstone mining in the region, and reprimanded local administration for "turning a blind eye" to the problem.
A bench of chief justice G Narendar and justice Manoj Tiwari issued the direction on Monday after the high court-appointed court commissioners Mayank Joshi and Sharang Dhulia submitted a report, which pointed to emergence of cracks on the walls of the houses in multiple villages in Banda area of the district.
"The report is not merely alarming, but is also shocking. The report and the photographs clearly demonstrate complete lawlessness by the miners, and are proofs of local administration turning a blind eye to the transgression," the bench noted in its order.
