District Collector John V. Samuel will submit a report on the soil extraction by levelling a hillock at Mattappally, near Mavelikara, to Agriculture Minister P. Prasad this week.
Mr. Samuel accompanied by other district administration officials visited the mining site and nearby areas on Sunday.
Following mass protests, an all-party meeting held last week decided to suspend soil mining at Mattappally. The meeting entrusted the Collector to visit the mining site and submit a detailed report to the government. The Collector has been asked to look into the mining permit issued by the Department of Mining and Geology and whether standard operating procedures were followed at Mattappally.
