Acting on the directions of Korba Collector Kunal Dudawat and under the supervision of the Deputy Director, Mineral Administration, two special mineral flying squads carried out surprise inspections across multiple locations in the district. The operation forms part of the administration\u2019s intensified efforts to curb illegal mining and safeguard natural resources.<\/p>\n
