Andhra Pradesh CM Orders CID Inquiry into Sand Mining Irregularities

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has ordered a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inquiry into alleged irregularities in sand mining activities across the state. This decision follows growing concerns about corruption and illegal practices within the sand mining sector.

The inquiry aims to investigate discrepancies in mining operations, including unauthorised activities and financial misconduct. It will focus on uncovering how licences were issued, the role of officials, and the overall compliance with environmental regulations.

The move reflects the state's commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability in natural resource management. The Chief Minister's office has emphasised that any illegal activities or misuse of power will be addressed rigorously, with appropriate legal action taken against those involved.

Sand mining has been a contentious issue in Andhra Pradesh, with previous reports highlighting issues such as illegal extraction, environmental damage, and financial irregularities. The CID investigation is expected to shed light on these issues and help in formulating better regulations to prevent future occurrences.

This inquiry is part of the government's broader efforts to clean up the sector and restore public trust. The findings will likely have significant implications for policy changes and enforcement strategies in the state?s mining industry.
