Relief for quarry, mineral leaseholders: Apply online for term extn by Sept 30
Amendments will be made to Rule 9 (3A) and Rule 10 (3A) of the Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession Rules-2017 for this purpose, according to an official statement.
"This decision will not only increase the state's revenue but also effectively curb illegal mining. Additionally, it will provide relief to approximately 2,500 quarry license holders by addressing practical issues arising in the delineation process of expired quarry licenses," it stated.
Various public representatives brought to the CM's attention that many quarry license holders were unable to apply for the extension online by the previously set deadline of 31 March due to the non-updating of quarry license data on the DMG online system of the Department of Mines and Geology.
