Unabated soil excavation in Andole halted after BRS intervention

Illegal soil mining on government land in Sangareddy’s Andole area was halted after BRS leaders intervened and alerted officials. Former MLA Chanti Kranthi Kiran accused officials of ignoring the activity and demanded strict action against both miners and negligent officers.

Sangareddy: As the digging of soil in government land continued unabated in survey number 1,141 on the outskirts of Andole, the BRS leaders obstructed the digging and called the revenue and police officials on Friday.

The digging and transportation of the soil from the land was being carried without any proper permission. Those who mine even soil must pay a royalty to the government after obtaining permission from mining and revenue departments. However, the mining of soil continued unabated for days.

The illegal miners have employed multiple earth movers and tens of trucks to transport the soil, which is being sold in the market. After coming to know, BRS leaders led by Ratna Goud visited the place and obstructed the mining. The police and revenue officials seized the vehicles.

Responding to the illegal mining, the former Andole MLA Chanti Kranthi Kiran accused the officials of supporting the illegal mining. He said that the officials did not take any action against them until the BRS leaders obstructed it and complained about it. Kranthi Kiran demanded the government to file cases against the illegal miners and initiate action against the officers who ignored the issue.
