Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today directed the officials to initiate action against any government employee found guilty of their involvement in illegal mining.
Issuing the direction at a review meeting of law and order, Das called for immediate prevention of illegal mining and suspension and dismissal of any official or employee found guilty of the offence.
An official release quoting the chief minister asked the police and other senior government officials not to allow any intervention while taking action against the guilty.
