A comprehensive safety audit will be conducted in the 5,000-odd stone quarries across Tamil Nadu to curb mining violations and accidents similar to the one that took place in a stone quarry at Adaimithippaankulam, Revenue Secretary Kumar Jayant said on Monday.
Mr. Jayant, who inspected the accident site, told journalists that the audit would be conducted in all quarries to check if the safety norms were being followed scrupulously. The inspections would also fix violations, if any.
