Sedition case should be registered against those involved in illegal mining: Punjab Governor

Chandigarh: Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit expressed concern over illegal mining in border areas and said a sedition case should be registered against such people. Interacting with sarpanches belonging to the border belt of Amritsar and Tarn Taran districts here, he sought cooperation to check smuggling of drugs and weapons from across the border.

He suggested that sedition charges should be filed against those who involved in the illegal mining especially alongside international border and causing a threat to national security.

Pertinently, Punjab and Haryana High Court recently reprimanded AAP government for failing to prevent illegal mining near Pakistan border and BSF has showed its concern over it.
