Minister Prashanth Reddy’s hand in illegal quarry*
Balkonda constituency BJP leader Mallikarjun Reddy filed a complaint to District Collector Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanth*
Balkonda constituency Bharatiya Janata Party leader Mallikarjun Reddy District Collector Rajiv Gandhi Hanumantu has requested an ETS (Electronic Total Station) survey to investigate and find out the facts. Speaking to the media on this occasion, he said that Geo Stone Industries leased this quarry has taken permits for 10,000 cubic meters and still moved more than 12 lakh cubic meters, which is surprising that there is no environmental permits. He commented that the crusher will not even be allowed to operate till November 2021 and that Minister Prashant Reddy is involved in the quarry scam.
The gravel road has been laid in the reserve forest to transport large quantities of goods from quarry to crusher, crusher to the open market, breaking the rules and gravel road has been paved, he questioned whether minister Prashant Reddy’s statement had been transferred within 24 hours of the then range officer who came to investigate the matter. Officials are disconnecting if common people don’t pay electricity bills for a month, what are officials doing if electricity bills up to 50 lakhs are pending on quarry. After the complaint he had given six months ago, he said that electricity bills of Rs 50 lakh have been paid.
Instead of ten thousand cubic meters, permissions taken, we have confirmed information that more than 12 lakh cubic meters of gravel has been moved, we had complained six months ago to Director of Mines Hyderabad, when Assistant Director Nizamabad ordered to conduct ETS survey, officials to the concerned leasing agency to deposit money for survey Even though it is expressed through the letters, they have not yet submitted that their history will be revealed. According to the Supreme Court guidelines, there is a possibility of at least Rs 200 crore fine and the lion share of the district will be given to the district. District Collector responded and said that at least now a survey should be conducted and to find out the facts, in the absence of Bharatiya Janata Party, a large scale protest will be raised. District Vice President Nimmala Srinivas, Bharatiya Janata Party President of various mandals Narayan Reddy, Mahipal, Sanjeev and a large number of villagers of Battapur participated in the meeting.
