Mangaluru (The Hindu): However, Deputy Commissioner K.G. Jagadeesha said there is no rampant sand extraction in CRZ areas in the district, particularly since he banned inter-district movement of sand about two months ago.
Yet, there are a few cases of illegal sand extraction and the district administration is acting against those responsible whenever possible, he said, citing several raids conducted against illegal sand extraction.
Mr. Jagadeesha added that if sand extraction is banned in Dakshina Kannada district as well, the construction industry in the undivided district would be affected.
The extraction permits expire by the end of March anyway, he said.
Pursuant to the plea from his Udupi counterpart, Mr. Jagadeesha said he has relaxed the ban on inter-district sand movement only for the neighbouring district. He also said the pressure on CRZ areas could come down soon as the State government is revising the sand policy. More sand from non-CRZ areas is likely to be made available, he said.
