Both the courses of action follow as the problem of soil erosion is being discussed in the statement. 

This soil erosion is taking place due to illegal mining in Gujarat.

Therefore in order to minimise the threat of soil erosion, the very first step should be putting an end to the illegal mining in that area.

This idea is proposed in the first course of action, hence I follows.

 

The second course of action brings forward the idea of planting cover crops.

Cover crops are an excellent way to reduce soil erosion as it provides ground cover that reduces raindrop impact, runoff, slows water velocities, and increases infiltration of water into the soil.

Hence, II also follows.
