Maharashtra Tightens Rules on Illegal Mining

The Maharashtra government has decided to make the rules stricter for people who illegally take out and transport small minerals like sand and gravel.

They will now have to pay a fine that is ten times higher than before.

This decision was made to stop illegal mining and make more money from these fines.

Since the state's law-making body is not currently meeting, the government will use an ordinance to make these new rules start right away.

Additionally, they approved a new job position for a center that uses artificial intelligence to help farmers.
