The action followed specific information received by authorities that sand was being illegally extracted despite the district administration not auctioning any sand ghats in the area. Officials said the mining activity was being carried out without obtaining the required government permits, leading to a loss of revenue to the exchequer and potential environmental damage.
Acting swiftly on the tip-off, Sub-Divisional Officer Jivraj Dapkar, Tehsildar Kailaschandra Waghmare and other members of the revenue team laid a trap at the site. During the operation, they intercepted and seized a tractor allegedly transporting sand mined from the riverbed.
