Opposition party Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today lashed out at the Congress government for its alleged failure to end the menace of illegal mining in Punjab.
SAD MP and party’s senior leader Prem Singh Chandumajra said the environment and people of Punjab were under a “big threat”due to the “illegal mining in the state”.
As per rules digging cannot go beyond the 10 feet limit as it could harm the balance of ecology. But 30-40 feet deep ditches at the mining sites are seen across Punjab.
The SAD leader said it has started to take toll on everything — from fertile land and bridges to people’s houses.
The Lok Sabha MP from Anandpur Sahib said soil erosion had become a major problem, besides bridge collapses and cracking of house walls in the areas where illegal mining was “rampant”.
“Rupnagar and Mohali districts are the biggest sufferers as the consequences of illegal mining are being faced by them on a large-scale with incidents of bridge collapse and damages to houses have been increasing sharply,” he added.
Law Maker said “If the Congress government fails to contain illegal mining activities in next few days, we will approach the Union environment minister and ask him to intervene in safeguarding the interests of the state and the people,”

Punjab Govt has claimed distribution of 9592 job letters, takes total employment generation to 161522
Terms charges of job fairs generating low-paying jobs as false propaganda, says highest package of Rs 31 lakh per annum Chandigarh/Ludhiana, March 11: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh too ..
The opposition Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today called the job fair organised by the Punjab government “bogus” and asked the Congress-led regime to publish a list of youth who were given jobs during the last one year.
In a statement here, former minister and SAD spokesman Maheshinder Singh Grewal said the government was making a laughing stock of itself by claiming that 31,000 youth had been given jobs in yesterday’s “so-called” job fair.
“What has actually happened is that the government has taken credit by distributing appointment letters to youth who have already been given employment by the private sector.
Besides, the government has also handed appointment letters to contractual employees who are already employed by it to swell the figures.
We demand immediate publication of complete list of all youth given employment in these bogus job fairs along with their addresses as well as emoluments being drawn by them,” he added.
Speaking about the foundation stones laid by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh at Ludhiana yesterday, Grewal said it did not behove of the CM to try to take credit for projects which had been initiated by the previous SAD-BJP government.
SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today expelled Iqbal Singh Sandhu, ex-member of the SAD core committee and senior leader of the Tarn Taran district from the party over anti-party activities.

Akalis To Approach Judiciary Against AAP For Stone Pelting
[Chandigarh,Punjab] Akalis To Approach Judiciary Against AAP’s Bhagwant Mann For Stone Pelting On Sukhbir’s Cavalcade
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will soon file a complaint against the Aam Admi Party (AAP), especially its leader Bhagwant Mann for allegedly inciting people against their political opponents.
SAD secretary Daljit Singh Cheema said that party has decided to file a complaint with the Election Commission of India, seeking action against the AAP.
He said that it will bring to the notice of ECI the statements coming from the leadership of AAP, including those of Mann who has been asking people to attack the SAD-BJP and other party’s leadership.
Cheema said that AAP’s only point of agenda is to derive political mileage by resorting to violent means.
He said that it was most unfortunate that instead of launching its campaign sincerely by seeking votes from the people, AAP is resorting to these types of dirty tricks.
He denounced the pelting of stones on SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal’s cavalcade at Jalalabad, saying “all these acts are shameful, condemnable and needs to be dealt firmly.”
Cheema said that the modus operandi adopted by AAP is that they hire about dozen goons in different areas and ask them to attack their opposite parties and make videos of these attacks with the sole objective to post them on social media.
By resorting to this methodology they want to sensationalise that every one is against other parties.
Seeking strong action against the AAP and its leadership particularly Mann, the SAD leader said that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has already appealed to all the political parties that they should cooperate with Election Commission for completion of poll procedure in a peaceful manner.
