Description | A concealed road passage used by Punjab's mining mafia in the Mand area of Fatehpur Assembly constituency, situated on Shah Canal project land, has been repeatedly dismantled by local authorities but continues to resurface. The road is used for transporting illegally extracted minerals from the Beas riverbed to Punjab. Local authorities have dismantled the road thrice in the past six months, with the latest demolition on May 28, 2025, under the supervision of MLA Bhiwani Pathania and the Public Works Department. Despite these efforts, the mafia reopens the road within days, continuing illegal mining activities. |
