ANSWER: Neither 1 nor 2
 
  • The Mining Surveillance System (MSS) checks 500 meters around the existing mining lease boundary to search for any unusual activity relating to illegal mining. Any discrepancy is flagged off as a trigger.
  • Automatic software leveraging image-processing technology will generate automatic triggers of unauthorised activities.
  • These triggers will be studied at a remote-sensing control centre of IBM and then transmitted to district-level mining officials for field verification.
  • IT services major Wipro has been selected, through a tender process, to develop the Mining Tenement System (MTS).
  • MTS is an online computerised register that is intended to bring computerisation and automation in the functioning at directorates of mining and geology (DMGs) of 11 states, IBM, GSI and the mines ministry.
