“Illegal mining has been carried out on revenue and forest land in Manki-Munda command in the bordering areas of the two states,”Jharkhand Home Secretary J B Tubid said.

 He said check posts would be set up to curb illegal transportation of iron ore and to identify routes which were used to carry minerals.
