(iv) The $tate Mines and Geology Departnrent should print the Transportpermits/Receipt with security features; enumerated at Paragraph (i)

above and isiiue them to tfre mine lease holder through the District

Collector. Onc,e these Transport Permitrs or Receipts are issued, theywould be uploaded on the server against that mine lease area. Each

receiplt strouid be preferably with pre-fi>red quantity, so the total quantity

gets determined for the receipts issued. When the Transport Permit or

Receipt barcorle gets scanned and Invoice is generated, that particularbarco'de gets rlsed and lts validity time is recorded on the server. So all

the dqtails of transporting of mined out material can be captured on theservelf and the Transport Permit or Receipt cannot be reused.

(v) The staff deployed for the purpose of checking of vehicles_carryingmined mineral should be In a position to checfl< the validity of TransportPermit or Receipt by scanning them using website, Android Applicationand SMS.

(vi) In cage the Vehicle breakdown, the validity of Transport Permit orReceipt shall be extended by sending SIVIS by driver in specific format toreporti breakdown of vehicle. The server will register this information andregistpr the breakdown. The State can arlso establish a call centre, whrich

cah rggister breakdowns of such vehiclers and extend the validity period.The subsequent restart of the vehicle also should be similarly reportecl tothe server I call centre..

(vii) The route of vehicle from source to destinration shall be tracked through thesysterfn using check points, Radio-frequency identification (RFID) Tags, andGlobdl Positioning System (GPS) tracking.

(viii) The system sfrall enable the Authoritir:s to develop periodic report ondiffereht pararneters like daily lifting report, vehicle logihistory, liftingagainst allocation, and total lifting. The r;ystem can be used to genenate

auto malls/SMls. This will enable the District Collector/Magistrate to get allthe rdlevant details and will enable ther authority to block the scanningfacility of any site found to be Indulged ln lrregularity. Whenever anyauthorlity intercepts any vehicle transporting lllegal sand, lt shall getregistdred on the server and shall be mandatory for the officer to fill inthe report on erction taken. Every Intercepted vehicle should be tracked,
