JAIPUR: In a bid to combat illegal mining activities, the Rajasthan mining department is set to roll out geo-fencing technology, following its inclusion in the recently approved state mining policy. This move aims at tightening compliance in areas prone to illegal mining.

An official said, “Geo-fencing will be instrumental in monitoring high-risk areas, while GPS tracking systems will be installed at check posts to enhance oversight. Furthermore, seized sand will be transported using the e-Ravanna system to maintain transparency.”

The policy also mandates the issuance of online royalty receipts, reducing the prevalence of fake receipts. Additionally, the vigilance wing will merge with the divisional mining wing, equipping the department of mines and geology with cutting-edge technologies like Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), drones, and other modern tools.

The draft policy highlights, “In mineral-rich areas, up to one hectare of govt land adjoining private lease areas may be allocated to facilitate greater mineral extraction.”
