CHANDIGARH: Leader of opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa on Tuesday disputed claims of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government that it had managed to stop illegal mining in Punjab.
Bajwa said, "Minister for mines Harjot Singh Bains should stop lying through his teeth as media reports refute his claim of putting an end to illegal sand mining in Punjab. Few days ago, the high court had rapped Bhagwant Mann government on the knuckles on unbridled mining in border areas posing a national security threat."
