The Telangana government has introduced the ‘Mana Isuka Vahanam’ scheme for online sand booking in Siddipet district, which aims to improve transparency and curb illegal practices.
Commissioner of Police Siddipet Rashmi Perumal said citizens can book sand directly through the official portal without depending on middlemen. Applicants have to register online, submit their application and pay the prescribed fee, after which the application will be verified by the village panchayat secretary and Tahsildar before approval.
Officials said sand would be supplied at rates set by the state government and advised the public to use the official system instead of approaching brokers.
The Commissioner of Police warned that strict legal action would be taken against those involved in the illegal transport of sand.
