MADURAI: The public works department on Monday informed the Madras high court that there is no proposal to quarry sand in the Thamirabarani river at Mukkani village in Tuticorin district.
Following this, a division bench of justices P N Prakash and S Ananthi closed the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by M Muthiah, a retired government employee, seeking for a direction to forbear the authorities from granting permission for quarrying river sand.
