BENGALURU: Removal of sand manually is permitted even under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification, the high court observed in a recent order while granting relief to 30 temporary permit holders from Dakshina Kannada.
Sunil and 29 others had challenged the May 21, 2022 order passed by the District Sand Monitoring Committee suspending their licences for removal of sand bars using non-mechanised boats. They also challenged notices issued on May 23 by the deputy director of mines and geology.
