ED seeks details of illegal sand mining cases registered in Tamil Nadu

As part of the investigation into allegations of serious irregularities in mining and sale of river sand in Tamil Nadu, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has sought details of illegal sand mining cases registered in the State.

The Central agency, which conducted surprise checks at multiple sand quarry sites and stockyards on September 12 this year and seized CCTV data storage devices, computer hard discs and incriminating documents including fake receipts and counterfeit QR codes, has written to the Water Resources Department that controls and supervises sand mining and sale, official sources said on Wednesday.
