Solve sand problem soon: Protest staged in front of Udupi DC office
Udupi: The ‘Kattada Samagri Sagata Vahana Maalaka-Chalakara Sangha’ on Monday staged a protest in front of the DC office here urging to simplify the sand policy and immediately resolve the issue.
Addressing the protesters, Sangha leader Raghavendra Shetty said that the district administration is directly responsible for the sand problem in the district. Measures should be taken to resolve the sand issue immediately. Sand mining must be allowed at all the 170 sand dunes.
Former president of Kundapur taluk panchayat Bhaskar Billawa said the sand issue should have been addressed earlier. Now it has become a disaster and the district administration is directly responsible for this. The district administration must immediately come forward to resolve the issue, he urged.
More than a hundred lorries were parked on the national highway and staged the protest. Barricades have been installed in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office in the wake of the strike and the security has been beefed up everywhere.
