Record Panchnamas hit mining mafia hard, Rs 350 crore seizures in 16 days

Jaipur: During the 16-day campaign against the mining mafia joint teams made panchnamas worth about Rs 350 crore and registered 2,455 cases. On average 153 cases, 33 FIRs, 15 arrests, and 15,000 tons of minerals were seized daily. In this campaign, three excavators, four JCBs, and 104 machines and vehicles were seized daily on average along with an average fine recovery of more than Rs 71 lakh per day. The campaign that started on January 15 broke the back of the mafia. The big question arises how will the panchnama amount of Rs 400 crore be recovered? There were maximum panchnamas registered in Jaipur, Bharatpur, Neem, Jhunjhunu, Bharatpur, and Alwar.
