Chandigarh, August 9 – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that during the tenure of the present State Government, the revenue from mining has been Rs. 4,660 crore in 7 years from 2015-16 to 2021-22.  Whereas during the tenure of the previous government from the year 2005 to 2014, only Rs. 1,268 crore was received i.e. revenue of Rs. 130 crore per year was received. Whereas about Rs. 600 crore per year was recieved as revenue during the present government's tenure.

The Chief Minister was speaking during the discussion on a calling attention motion moved by various MLAs on the second day of the Monsoon Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today to stop illegal mining in Nuh's Taoru after a DSP was crushed to death with a dumper truck by mining mafia. 

Sh.  Manohar Lal said that illegal mining has been banned during the tenure of the present government, which is evident from the revenue received by the government.

He said that whenever any topic is discussed in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, then according to the democratic system, the tenure of the present and previous governments is compared for the reality of the situation. This comparison is necessary because it only shows whether the situation was bad during the tenure of the previous government or it is bad today.

Sh. Manohar Lal took a poetic jibe at the Leader of the Opposition, Sh. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and said "Lehze mein kasak aur chehre par naqab liye firte hai, jinke khud ke khate kharaab hai, woh mera hisaab liye firte hai."

The Chief Minister said that the suggestions given by the MLAs in the House to help crack down on the mining mafia will definitely be considered.  He said that cracking down on illegal miners is a continuous process.

He said that mining is closed in Mewat area, but it was requested that crushers be run for for those who come with goods from Rajasthan.  Those who come from Rajasthan have also been checked, they have registered crushers.  The records and physical stock in their papers have been checked, in which discrepancies have been found.  Similarly, stock of MDL was checked in Yamunanagar also.

He said that the police force cannot be present for every mining vehicle. But taking action against the wrong doers. Vehicles are being caught.  Action is being taken against overloaded vehicles.  Invoices are being made.  Challans are also being issued to overloaded vehicles coming from Rajasthan.
