In Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, sand mafias have illegally stockpiled sand worth over 50 crore rupees before the monsoon floods arrive. Reports indicate that sand mountains have been created in more than 50 locations across the district, including Paradip and Kujang. Allegations have surfaced that highwa trucks are transporting sand under police protection, bypassing environmental and mining regulations. Despite multiple complaints, the district administration and mining department have remained inactive, leading to suspicions of high-level influence and systemic corruption. https://sambad.in/state/sand-pile-worth-50-crore-rupees-12113090 #creator program
