Vehicle transporting minerals or sand must have Global Positioning System (GPS) under One State One GPS Scheme introduced to curb illegal sand extraction in the district, Deputy Commissioner R. Snehal has said.
Chairing a district-level sand monitoring committee meeting in Yadgir on Monday, she said that the officers of the departments concerned should take immediate action on this.
The Deputy Commissioner said that each vehicle must have GPS and strictly directed the officials to seize vehicles and cancel licence if any vehicle is found without GPS.
