New Delhi: The Cabinet on Monday has ordered a probe into alleged illegal mining in the country, mines minister BK Handique told reporters.

The Orissa has been engaged in a year-long drive against offenders closing several mines, while Goa has said it will clamp down on exports of illegally mined iron ore.
