Some individuals are reportedly engaged in illegal sand mining at night near Koduru Konda, close to Chintapalli in Vizianagaram district, according to Andhrajyothy. The operations remain silent during the day, with heavy excavators used for digging at night.
Andhrajyothy states that while there are no activities during the day, digging commences at night. The newspaper also reported that officials are seemingly ignoring these illegal mining activities.
Heavy digging and transportation of sand are being carried out with excavators during the night, Andhrajyothy reported. Concerns are being raised about the environmental damage caused by these operations.
These mining activities are taking place near the Ramanjaneya Colony ZP High School, Andhrajyothy reported. Teachers are expressing their concern over these illegal operations.
These illegal mining activities are causing problems for local school students and residents in the surrounding areas. The movement of heavy vehicles and noise at night disrupt peace and quiet.
