Panna Collector Fines Diamond Stone Crusher Over Rs 124 Crore
Imagine someone was digging up rocks without permission.
In Panna, a businessman named Shrikant Dixit was doing just that.
He was digging up stones illegally and not paying the right amount of money.
The government found out and the court made him pay a huge fine, over 124 crore rupees!
This is like a very big punishment for breaking the rules.
The court decided this after looking into how much stone he took and how long he was doing it for.
This is a warning to others who might be doing the same thing.
The district collector's court fined Shrikant Dixit over Rs 124 crore for illegal mining.
