Bramhapuri: Illegal mining is taking place on a large scale from the non-auctioned retighats of Arheranwargaon, Chikhaldhokda, awdi, Belgaon, Kolari, Halda, Pimpalgaon in Bramhapuri taluka. The sand deposit of the old auction is accumulated on this ghat. Along with this, illegally mined sand is being deposited in this reservoir.
In the year 2022-23, Sandri Ghats of Sondri, Bodegaon, Ranmochan, Kharkada, Chichgaon, Avalgaon, Halda-2 have been auctioned. Despite the lack of approval from the Environment Department, illegal mining is rampant here.
Excavation is also being done outside the approved limits and by deepening.
The government is losing crores of rupees as sand transportation is going on day and night without royalty. Revenue is sinking.
Keeping in view the seriousness of the matter, strict legal action should be taken against the railway operators and those responsible for illegal mining and illegal transportation and sale.
