Six trucks were detained by District Mineral Officer (DMO) Rajinder Singh and mineral guards during routine inspection at Lakhanpur for failing to produce the necessary legal documents. The trucks were subsequently seized after the drivers were given a chance to present documentation and other supporting evidence. It was advised that all seized trucks were turned over to the police post in Lakhanpur following the required legal procedures, and that they would stay there until the Joint Director Office in Jammu realised the penalty and took other appropriate measures.The DMO added that although the vehicles were headed for Punjab after being loaded with gypsum in Samba areas, they lacked the proper documentation needed to move minerals from one place to another.
