“Mining operation also involves transportation of mineral from the mining area to end-user and its necessary that movement of the mineral needs to be monitored”. “The State Government already has power under section 23c of MMDR, Act 1957 to make rules for preventing illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals”.

“The route of the vehicle from source to destination shall be tracked through the system using checkpoints, Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, and Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking”.
Please refer to Page no. 43 with sl. 7.1 (Vii)


“To make transportation monitoring effective and useful, all the sand-carrying vehicles (tractors/ trucks) should be registered with the department and GPS equipment should be installed in all the sand-carrying vehicles. Weighbridges with CCTV should be installed at all the stockyards and active reaches to ascertain the exact quantity of sand being transported in the vehicle. Check posts with CCTV cameras should be established near all major consumption centers to check if all the transporting vehicles are carrying a valid transport permit. The transport permit generated should contain the security features mentioned under section 5.11 so that one permit cannot be re-used by generating photocopies of the permit”.
