Now, Congress ex-MLA Karan Kaur Brar ‘raids’ mining site in Muktsar

Muktsar, July 4

After “raids” by SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on sand mining sites to expose “illegal activity” over the past few days, Muktsar former MLA and senior Congress leader Karan Kaur Brar, who is the daughter-in-law of former CM Harcharan Singh Brar, today conducted a surprise check at a mining site at Chak Badhai village here, claiming flouting of norms.

Brar said: “I found some heavy machinery being used there, which is illegal. Further, those present introduced themselves as mining contractors and showed a document without any VAT or GST number of their firm.”

Sadar police station SHO Vishan Lal said: “Nobody has brought this to my notice as of now.” — TNS
