UP Govt Allows Mining of Sand on Private Land
The UP government has decided to allow mining for construction material like sand, etc on private land, by giving mining license to the private land owner at double the royalty. The proposal was cleared by chief minister Yogi Adityanath. Private land owners can now get a licence by paying twice the royalty and get mining carried out on their land. CM said that people should get minerals like sand and other construction material at reasonable rates. He said that a constant supply of such raw material must be maintained so that people do not face any problems. Compared to previous years, the rate of construction raw material is stable in the state. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the department earned Rs 420.8 crore in revenue this financial year, which is 21.5% more than the previous year. Other than this, import of minerals from other states added to revenue by Rs 120.2 crore.
