In a sustained and proactive drive against illegal mining, *Ganderbal Police* has intensified its action across the district. During the previous week of December, police teams seized 10 vehicles—including 08 Tippers and 02 Tractors—involved in the illegal extraction and transportation of minor minerals within the jurisdictions of Police Station Kheerbawani, Lar, and Gund. The vehicles were found transporting illegally extracted material from Nallah Sindh without the mandatory permissions. Acting swiftly and in close coordination with the Geology & Mining Department, teams from the respective police stations intercepted and seized these vehicles on the spot. Furthermore, in the jurisdiction of PS Safapora, the Geology & Mining Department imposed fines on 05 Tippers at Koundal for overloading soil, further tightening the clampdown on illegal mineral transportation in the area. Illegal extraction not only causes loss to the public exchequer but also poses a serious threat to the ecological balance of the region. *Ganderbal Police* reaffirms its unwavering commitment to protecting natural resources and curbing such unlawful activities. *Offenders* are once again strictly warned to desist from illegal mining and mineral transportation. *Ganderbal Police* will continue to take stringent legal action against all violators involved in unlawful extraction, transportation, or trade of minerals.
