"sand-mining"

BRS spokesperson Krishank Manne slams Congress government for hiking sand prices from Rs 1,200 per tonne (including GST and transportation) to Rs 1,800 per tonne (excluding GST and transportation)

BRS leader urged the Tribunal to cancel the order which violates Standard Environmental Guidelines of the Union government, and adhere to the existing sand loading timings of 6 am to 6 pm.

According to sources, the Rachakonda Police registered about 100 cases in the last few days

The NGT has sought a response from authorities, including the district magistrates of north Delhi and Ghaziabad, over alleged instances of illegal sand mining in the River Yamuna floodplain

The SP leaders including the state unit chief Pasam Venkateswarlu and Madhu Botta Yadav sat on a dharna in front of the Ambedkar statue.

Collector S Krishna Aditya has directed the officials concerned to take strict measures to prevent smuggling of sand

Peeved by the police move to check their illegal activity, the sand smugglers attacked the police with hoes resulting in injuries to Venkatesh, Rajkumar and Srinivas.
