Illegal mining continues unabated in Bihar, claiming innocent lives. In a recent tragic incident, a minor boy died after being buried under a mound of earth during illegal soil excavation. The incident came to light when local villagers, after hours of effort, recovered the body of the minor from the debris. Immediately after the accident, the tractor driver and dumper owner involved in the illegal mining fled the scene, intensifying public anger.

According to eyewitnesses, the unfortunate event occurred while some individuals were engaged in illegal soil mining. Suddenly, a large section of earth collapsed, trapping the minor boy who was present there. He died on the spot, buried under the heavy debris. Upon receiving news of the incident, a large number of villagers gathered at the site. Enraged, they immediately began rescue operations as the administration and police teams were delayed in reaching the spot. After hours of strenuous effort, the villagers manually removed the soil and extricated the minor's body.

This incident once again highlights the horrific consequences of illegal mining. Locals allege that illegal mining is rampant in the area, and the administration has completely failed to curb it. Villagers claim that this illicit trade thrives due to the alleged complicity of the police and mining department, leading to such accidents frequently. They have demanded strict action against the culprits and compensation for the victim's family. The police have registered a case and are searching for the absconding accused. This incident underscores the urgent need for stringent action against illegal mining.
