    To save the environment enforce total ban on illegal mining throughout the country.
    Assumption:
    I. Mining which is done legally does not cause any harm to the environment
    II. Mining is one of the factors responsible for environment degradation.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either assumption I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither assumption I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both assumption I and II are implicit.
