High Court Halts Black Stone Mining in Jajpur Reserve Forest

Imagine a court like a school principal who makes sure everyone follows the rules.

In this case, the court told the Jajpur district to stop black stone mining in a protected forest because it's against the law.

Some people complained that the mining was damaging the environment and stealing resources.

Even though the district was told to stop, the mining continued.

The court ordered the district to immediately halt the mining, and the district claims they already started to do this.

The court wants to see proof that the mining has stopped and will check again later to make sure the rules are being followed.
