Janakpurdham, Jan 25: The District Police Office has beefed up its efforts to curb illegal extraction of riverbed materials- sand and pebbles from the Kamala River.
The police have seized the tractors and other tools used to dig riverbed. Similarly, they obstructed the alternative routes used by the smugglers to transport river products.
With the active presence of security persons, the illegal extraction has declined, according to the District Police Office. Police Inspector from Area Police Office at Dhalkebar, Jata Shankar Yadav, informed that the police had seized the tractors and other tools and sent those to the concerned offices for further action.
The police launched such initiatives because the illegal extraction did not cease even after the arrest of those involved in it. The alternative routes for transport are impaired and obstructed to discontinue the illegal works. Mayor of Ganeshman Charnath municipality, Jit Narayan Yadav, said they had mobilized police persons to control growing smuggling of riverbed materials, especially from the Kamala River.
Similarly, the local level crusher industries running without registration and no renewal were terminated. The locals, however, said the resources in the Jalad, Aurahi, Badahari, Ratu and Kamala Rivers were much exploited and it was difficult for the local level and police to control. So, the District Administration Office has to interference with it, they argued.
The crusher industries were smuggling sand and pebbles in the night evading administration’s oversight.#nepal #river#rss
