Shahdol, these days, on the roads under Jaisingh Nagar, Beohari and Devlod police stations, drivers are illegally transporting heavy dumpers at high speed during the day and night by overloading sand in the vehicles, due to which there is a constant possibility of road accidents. So the government is also suffering loss of revenue. Although this loss is being continuously recovered from the middle class people in the name of helmet and seat belt, it is surprising that the responsible officers from the police station to the district are refraining from taking action against this sand overloading mafia. It is also being said that the administrative officers and officials of the Mineral Department are proving to be dwarfs in front of the high spirits of the sand mafia. Every day, three hundred big dumpers filled with sand come out of the district. Roads are also getting unnecessarily damaged due to these dumpers being overloaded with sand. On the one hand, due to which the Madhya Pradesh government is losing royalty worth lakhs of rupees every day, on the other hand the roads are also being damaged. This convoy of dumper, teller and 16-18 tira trucks filled with sand passed through the roads of Shahdol district and reached Govindgarh Rewa through the border of Satna district. By converting two trucks into three trucks, the sand business brokers and sand mafia have made ownership of crores of rupees. For example, the name of Sidhi's alleged sand mafia in sand contracting company Sahakar Global is coming up, whose name has made a lot of headlines in the Patwari murder case in which the recording of SDOP Ravi Kol and the alleged leader had gone viral. It was heard in the voices of both of them that the alliance is intent on destroying the Golden Sand River and the Son River Crocodile Sanctuary for the sake of a little money.

Let us tell you that you often see overloaded sand trucks and dumpers standing for hours at dhabas, but no action has ever been taken by any officer against these trucks and dumpers filled with sand. There is also news quoting sources that the white government Bolero of the Mineral Department is constantly parked in a hotel named JP in Beohari and then all the overloading becomes legal. Sudhi people have demanded that Collector Vandana Vaidya should take action against people involved in illegal sand transportation and sand mining outside the lease area. Otherwise administrative tightness will be exposed.
What is the reason...

Dumpers filled with overloaded sand pass by the police station, SDM and Tehsildar office every day without any fear, but no action is taken by the administrative officers against these dumpers filled with overloaded sand. However, sometimes for show, they are stopped in the name of checking dumpers filled with sand. It is passed without any action. Mineral officials also refrain from taking action. Which is beyond understanding. Now sand is being transported through trolleys.

Not only this, the sand mining company contracted by the government to Sahakar Global has been clearly stated in various documents that it is illegal to extract sand outside the lease area and sell it on marked transit passes. For this, there are proper guidelines for which the sand mining company and David The henchmen are bent upon eradicating the existence of life-giving rivers. There are many named examples where there is no sand but the legitimate sand contractor is mining sand outside the allotted lease area to reap his profits. In this way, for sand mining and transportation in Shahdol district, Sahakar Global Company was given a free hand by the concerned department to deteriorate the roads, Sonnadi and tributary river drains of the surrounding area, due to which it is natural to raise questions on the administrative system of the district.
