[ad_1]

Shivpuri: Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh is considered to be extremely rich and rich in terms of natural forest wealth, but this wealth is also causing its destruction. Black stone is abundant here, on the other hand sand known as white gold is found in the rivers here. He has become the first choice of district leaders, officials and mafia due to the huge and black income from it. These people are making black money by exploiting sand and stones from here.

It may be noted that Karera, Narwar, Pichor and other taluks of the district have abundant sand deposits along with the major rivers Sind and Mahuar and other minor rivers. On the other hand, in the places where the mining lease has been issued by the Department of Mines, there is not enough sand, but in the name of that place, sand can be taken from another place and royalty can be issued by mentioning the name. Rented premises. This black business of illegal sand in Rahe district is extorting lakhs of rupees daily.

It is officially known that there is a sand mine named Kalyanpur in Karera area, under the cover of which illegal sand mining is being done from hundreds of places, not only in Dabarsani village in Sunari Choki area under Ronija, Andaura. , Sihore police station area.Bijor Chittahri, Machhavali in Karaira police station area and Tarkheda in Amol Patha choki area illegal sand mining is going on. You can estimate the sand mining in Karera, Narwar area from the fact that the sand here is reaching many districts of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan without royalty due to which the government has to lose huge revenue. .

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.
