Illegal sand mining in Mandya, smuggled sand transported openly in bullock cart
It seems the mining mafia is not scared despite the consequences faced by mining baron Janardhana Reddy in the past. In Mandya, mafia openly smuggles sand.
A video of sand being transported in an open bullock cart has surfaced from Maddur taluk and it is said that the mafia is illegally extracting sand from Shimsha river.
The locals believe that public representatives and officials may be working hand in hand in this case hence the mafia is openly looting natural resources and damaging the ecology.
