Cracking the whip on illegal sand mining, the district administration has issued orders to seize 11 illegal sand dumps and close two sand reaches one at Pamulapeta and another at Medipalli villages in Peddapalli district.
According to official sources, the action has been taken following detection of illegally stored sand during surprise inspections by the officials concerned on Friday. An FIR has been registered against those found illegally transporting sand.
The crackdown follows a slew of complaints related to illegal sand mining and transportation by some unscrupulous elements on the pretext of construction of Indiramma houses.
