The East Jaiñtia Hills district magistrate once again promulgated prohibitory orders banning rat hole coal mining in the district.
The order under Section 144 of CrPC was issued also against illegal transportation without challan and dumping of coal in noncompliance with the directions issued by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) earlier.
“Violation of order, which comes into immediate effect, shall attract penal actions under Section 188 of the IPC apart from the other prevalent relevant laws,” the order said.
