Order of the National Green Tribunal regarding allotment of mining lease in village Kala Khera, Dungar Faganwas, district Sikar, Rajasthan, 16/02/2024
Order of the National Green Tribunal (Central Zone Bench, Bhopal) in the matter of Kailash Vs State of Rajasthan & Others dated 16/02/2024. The grievance of the applicant is allotment of the mining lease for mining in Cheja Pathar (masonry stone) as the mining area is near the hills and in the vicinity of a residential area. The hill is surrounded by the village Kala Khera, Dungar Faganwas, panchayat Ladika Bas, tehsil Neem Ka Thana, via Ganeshwar, district Sikar, Rajasthan. According to the complainant, distance criteria for the allotment of the mining lease from the residential area has not been followed. Heavy blasting and running the crusher in the vicinity of the residential area and the forest area is causing threat to life of human beings and wild animals. Forest area has been encroached beyond the limit of the allotted area.
The NGT called for a report on the matter from a joint committee comprising representatives from the Collector, District Sikar and Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board. The committee has been directed to submit the factual and action taken report within six weeks.
