Sand mining by placing submarines
It is against the rule to put submarines in the river to extract sand in the mining act, but here this work is being done by putting submarines in the rivers, due to which the aquatic animals are also being harmed. Many aquatic species have become extinct, the remaining species are also on the verge of extinction. Due to excessive sand extraction from the rivers, the water levels of the rivers are continuously decreasing, the rivers are drying up and animals and birds are not getting drinking water and they are dying prematurely.
Roads of crores were washed away
Recently a few months ago the CC road of Karera Bhitarwad Road was constructed at a cost of crores, but it has become dilapidated as dumper-tractor trolleys loaded with sand leave this road daily. Similarly, the asphalt road from Ramnagar to Sunari approach road is completely dilapidated. Similarly, the Karaira Machhavali road has also collapsed. If illegal mining is not controlled, the situation will worsen.
