eyond the common boundary between S.B. Minerals and ML No.2010 under mining and adjoining that forest cover existed. No mining is seen between the common boundary between Veeyam Mines and ML No.2010. The imagery also show the existence of large areas under forest cover in ML No.2010. The Satellite Imagery of 2010 reveals a drastic change. The area under mining, beyond the common boundary between S.B. Minerals and ML No. 2010, is seen to have increased substantially and the corresponding forest cover has disappeared. Similarly, in respect of area adjoining the boundary of Trident Minerals and Veeyam Mines, substantial increase in the area under mining is seen. A road constructed from Veeyam Mines to the old dumps of Dalmia Mines is clearly visible in the 2010 Satellite Imagery. The illegal mining on a massive scale and consequent disappearance of forest cover is clearly visible in the satellite imageries. 13. In the Survey and Demarcation Sketch of M/s S.B. Minerals jointly prepared and signed by the Forests, the Mines and Geology and the Revenue Deptt., and which was accepted and taken over by S.B. Minerals during 2007 (dealt with in Deepak Sarmah Report), the geographical coordinates of the corner points (latitude and longitude) of the lease area have been recorded. The mining undertaken 62
y the S.B. Minerals, as seen in the Satellite Imagery of 2010, is much beyond the mining lease area as per the above survey. 14. Since the S.B. Minerals have common boundary with adjoining leases of ML 2010, Balaji Mines, S.B. Minerals and others, the lease sketches and areas of these mines can be accurately determined and laid on the ground. 15. In the mining lease sketch of Veeyam Mines available with the PCCF (dealt with in the Deepak Sarmah Report) common boundary with ML No. 2010 and the geographical coordinates of the lease boundaries are given. There are wide differences between the lease boundary as per the above coordinates and what has been fixed by the joint survey team. 16. The details given in the Survey of India Toposheet, safety zone PKMS of M/s. Trident Minerals and M/s. Muneer Enterprises and original lease sketch of M/s ML No.2010 clearly indicates that mining leases of M/s. Trident Minerals and M/s. Muneer Enterprises are located on the Southern slope of Ridge line and that they do not cross over the Northern side of the Ridge. On the other hand, M/s. RMML lease is located along the Northern aspect of the hill range and the ridge line forms its southern boundary. The boundary line fixed by the survey done by the Lokayukta 63
