Nalgonda: The District Collector P Satyanarayana Reddy on Tuesday ordered mining and other line departments’ officials to take stringent action against illegal sand transporters. At a District level sand committee meeting at his camp office in Nalgonda on Tuesday, he directed the officials to file cases against licensed sand contractors who violate the mining norms.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the sand committee agreed to lift sand from Pulichinthala submerged areas.
