24 mining alerts in J&K in 5 years, just one confirmed illegal: Centre

Jammu and Kashmir recorded 24 alerts under the Mining Surveillance System (MSS) over five years, but only one was confirmed as unauthorised mining after field verification, the Lok Sabha was told Wednesday. The data, presented by the Ministry of Mines, covers 2021-22 to 2025-26. Pulwama accounted for the lone confirmed case in J&K as detected by the UT government. J&K recorded four MSS triggers in 2021-22, none in 2022-23, seven in 2023-24 and 13 in 2024-25. No trigger was recorded in 2025-26. The figures show that 23 of the 24 alerts did not result in a confirmed case after field verification. Across India, the MSS generated 679 triggers during the five-year period. State governments confirmed 42 cases of unauthorised mining after verification. Goa recorded the highest number of confirmed cases at 17, followed by Gujarat with seven and Madhya Pradesh with six. Andhra Pradesh recorded four, Tamil Nadu three and Karnataka two. Maharashtra and Rajasthan recorded one each. The Ministry described the MSS as a supplementary mechanism for detecting suspected unauthorised mining. Alerts are sent to concerned state governments for field verification by district-level officials. Under Section 23C of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, state governments are empowered to frame rules to prevent illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals and take enforcement action. The Centre said details of penalties imposed, minerals recovered and compensation realised in cases arising from MSS triggers are maintained by respective state governments. It, therefore, did not provide consolidated state-wise figures on penalties or recoveries. The Ministry also said enforcement against illegal mining falls within the purview of State Governments, which are responsible for taking action after unauthorised mining is established through field verification.
