Illegal mining common on Himachal-Punjab border: Minister
Shimla, Aug 27 (IANS) Taking advantage of the unclear boundary between Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, illegal mining is common along the Chakki stream that flows between the two states, Revenue Minister Kaul Singh said on Thursday. "In Kangra district along the Chakki 'khad' or stream dividing Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, the interstate boundary is unclear and has led to harassment of Himachalis at the hands of illegal mining mafia from Punjab," the minister informed the assembly. Kaul Singh said during Question Hour that the deputy commissioner of Kangra took up the matter with the Punjab government on June 29 for joint demarcation of the interstate boundary.
