JMM activists in Jamshedpur are raising their voices against unlawful iron ore mining and export activities in West Singhbhum, threatening to disrupt lorry traffic if authorities don't take swift action. They've implicated three suspects, reportedly connected to a former Chief Minister, in the illegal operations, which have severely impacted the state's economy.

Sundargarh district officials have detected illegal mining at Sanindpur Iron and Manganese Ore Mines, owned by M/s Grewal Minerals and Metals. A joint inspection revealed violations of the Forest Conservation Act, with mining extending beyond the permitted lease area. The administration is preparing to impose fines on the lessee.

Illegal mining activities have been detected at a mine in Koira tehsil, Sundargarh, with a joint inspection report detailing violations of the Forest Conservation Act.
