There is a crisis situation regarding sand in Chhattisgarh. State Congress Communication Department Chairman Sushil Anand Shukla has alleged that the sand has increased three times under the patronage of the BJP government.

Sushil Anand Shukla said that after the coming of BJP government, the prices of sand are skyrocketing. Sand is being sold for Rs 24 to 25 thousand per truck. There is a mafia war going on among the BJP members to grab the sand mines across the state. Due to the protection of the government, the people of the state are having to bear the brunt of this monkey business. The previous government had made a solid policy.
State Congress Communication Department Chairman Sushil Anand Shukla said that the previous Congress government had made a solid policy. Under the supervision of Mineral Development Corporation, complete arrangements were made to maintain transparency in all 450 sand mines of the state.
Loading charges increased in mines
Anand Shukla said that during the time of Congress government, the maximum loading charge in sand mines was Rs 450, which is now being charged up to Rs 2000, Rs 3000 and Rs 5000 due to corruption and commission, on which perhaps the government has no control or is being charged undeclared. Illegal mining business gets protection from BJP
Shukla said that illegal mining business is flourishing in the state under the patronage of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. The mining mafia has become so carefree under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. They are openly beating mining officers and employees.
Mining mafia people chased and beat the employees
After the beating of many employees including the Mineral Inspector in Gariaband about 2 weeks ago, now 16 officers and employees of the Mineral Department were beaten up by people of illegal mining mafia in Hardidih Sand Ghat of Samoda near Arang in Raipur district.
It is alleged that after that the sealed machine was opened by the employees of the Mineral Department and the action sheet was also torn. In the name of action, the administration is engaged in whitewashing. Neither machines nor vehicles were confiscated. It is clear that the illegal mining mafia has the protection of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders.?
