Villagers foil illegal sand mining

Basheerabad: Villagers foiled the attempt of unknown people, who tried to excavate sand from the local tank in Korviched village, on Wednesday. Some people reached the tank with excavator, tippers, tractors and workers and started mining the sand.

Villagers opposed their action and demanded proper permission for the mining. They did not show any credentials but referred some names of the ruling party. But the villagers did not allow them to dig and strongly objected the mining. The people returned with their vehicle without creating any scene.
