Arvind Mishra, Balodabazar. In the Gram Panchayat Mohan Boda of the district, the mineral mafia is carrying out illegal mining and transportation of sand from Mahanadi without any fear. Mining mafia has become active under the protection of administrative officials. In connivance with administrative officials, the mafia is once again engaged in illegal sand excavation from Mahanadi. Despite continuous complaints, no action is being taken.
Model code of conduct is in force in the entire country under the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, the pressure of political parties on the administration ends. Administrative officers play an active role in curbing illegal activities, but in Balodabazar the mining mafia has become active under the protection of administrative officers. By colluding with administrative officials, the mafia has once again become active in illegal sand excavation from Mahanadi. The mining mafia is doing business by ripping the chest of Mahanadi, the life giver of Chhattisgarh, passing through Balodabazar, with a chain mountain machine. All this is flourishing under the patronage of the officials of the District Mineral Department and the District Administration.
Despite the complaint, the Mineral Department and District Administration officials have not taken any action yet. According to the villagers, illegal sand is being extracted every day in more than 150 trucks and trucks from village Boda sand ghat with 3 mountain machines and 2 excavators. This is not only causing damage to the river system, but is also causing loss to the environment and government revenue.
Sarpanch Firat Netam has applied to the Collector demanding to stop illegal sand mining. Here, when District Mineral Officer KK Banjare wanted to know his side in this whole matter, he refused to say anything and said that he should get permission for action from the Collector. Action will be taken on his orders only. It can be clearly understood from this that how amidst the code of conduct, the mining mafia is getting the support of the administrative officials in straining the chest of Mahanadi.
Stop illegal business: Sarpanch
Mohan’s Sarpanch, who came to complain, said that if the Collector has given permission to run a sand ghat in Mohan’s dependent village Boda, then the Collector should also give permission to the people of his village to run the ghat. Or take action against the illegal mining business going on in Boda by stopping it with immediate effect and compensating the loss of revenue.
