Addressing a meeting held during the distribution ceremony, the minister said that no one will be made to work in any mine within the jurisdiction of KP without prior permission or an official license of the provincial government. He said that he will increase the payment ratio to each family to Rs 500,000 and added that the mine in Tarnawi was being illegally operated and was not on the provincial government's record.
