Stop illegal transport of ‘murram’, says Shiv Sena

Shiv Sena state president Siddalinga Swami urged the Kalaburagi Regional Commissioner to stop the illegal transportation of ‘murram’ from the construction site of the proposed tank at Veebhutihalli village in Shahapur taluk.

Addressing a press conference in Yadgir on Sunday, Siddalinga Swami said that a private contractor was transporting ‘murram’ from the tank construction illegally.

“We have submitted a request to the concerned police officers to prevent such illegal activities and protect the valuable ‘murram’. However, no action has been taken so far. Therefore, the regional governor should intervene and order the constables to immediately take measures to protect the public property,” he said.

Siddalinga Swami further demanded that the Deputy Commissioner and officers of the Department of Mines and Geology should visit the site and conduct a joint inspection to assess the quantity of ‘murram’ transported so far.
