Haryana government carried out a drive to curb illegal sand mining in the banks of Yamuna and seized 15 dumpers which were overloaded with sand.
Ten dumpers were seized in Rai, four in Ganaur and one in Murthal as part of a checking drive launched in the mines in areas near the Yamuna, an official spokesperson said today.
Cases have been registered at police stations in all three places.
The campaign was launched a week ago keeping in mind the orders of the National Green Tribunal which has barred the use of heavy machinery in digging riverbeds.
