Andhra Pradesh: Kalava questions waiver of ₹1.92 crore mining royalty on Govt. Whip

Telugu Desam Party(TDP) Anantapur district president and former Minister Kalava Srinivasulu has questioned the waiver of ₹1.92 crore mining royalty and penalty levied on Government Whip and Raidurg MLA Kapu Ramachandra Reddy for excavating more than the licensed quantity in Nemakal village of Bommanahal mandal in Anantapur district.

There was ₹62 crore royalty due earlier. With this, ₹64 crore needs to be collected by the government, said Mr. Srinivasulu at a press conference here on Tuesday.

The Vigilance Department had levied ₹1.92 crore penalty, but Minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy waived off the entire penalty in his ‘court’ through memo No. 3947 dt. October 28 in 2019.
