Mining mafia attack police party
Dera Bassi, August 9 The police have booked nearly 12 persons, including a village panch, besides impounding three tractors used for ferrying the sand from the village. The incident occurred on the Ghaggar riverbed in Bhaura village late last night when a police party led by ASI Harpal Singh reached the mining site and tried to stop the illegal activity. Seeing the police, some of the persons involved in the mining managed to escape, while certain henchmen of the mafia countered the police party. Some of them smashed the windowpanes of a private car used by the police. There was a high drama in the village when residents, including women, reached the site following which Anil Sharma, superintendent of the Dera Bassi police, had to send additional police force to tackle the situation. Residents and the henchmen alleged that they were paying to the police personnel for the activity since long. Talking to The Tribune, Sharma said after receiving information about illegal mining in the village, a police party was sent to conduct the raid. But members of the mining mafia and the villager residents resisted the operation and chased the police. They also damaged a vehicle used by the police, the SP added. The police conducted raids in the village to nab those who were involved in the illegal mining but to no avail. They seized three tractors used in the mining, besides registering cases under the Mining Act and sections of the IPC against Hari Singh, village panch, Amrik Singh, Jurjant Singh, Manjit Singh and over six other unidentified persons. No arrest has been made in this regard so far. Sanjiv Kumar, SDM, Dera Bassi, said illegal mining was going on in the village and the police had booked a few persons earlier also in this regard.

This situation was quite embarrassing for us,” said the secretary of the association, Rinku Singhal. The manager of the ground, however, maintained, “Organisers are solely responsible for this. Due to the rainy reason, the grass cannot be trimmed. The grass-cutting machine or tractor may damage the ground.” According to a source in the same office, the attendants were busy in making arrangements for the UT Open Tennis Tournament at the Lake Sports Complex. “We were short of manpower as everyone was busy making provisions for the tennis meet,” said an official, on the condition of anonymity.
