The district level sand committee appealed to people to register complaint by calling on No 6309990908 if any one charges more price than the fixed or any one excavated, stored, shifted sand illegally.
Sand is being excavated and shifted through bullock carts round the clock from Tamminaidupeta, Dusi, Nellimetta, Singuru, Ponnada, Narayanapuram ramps in Nagavali river and Parlam, Madapam, Purusottamapuram, Pothayyavalasa, Chevvakulapeta and other ramps in Vamsadhara river across the district.

Revenue, police, mines and geology, special enforcement bureau (SEB) officials are well aware about the illegal shifting of sand but unable to check it in the wake of alleged pressures from the ruling party leaders.
