Raipur . After the issue arose in the Assembly, the Mineral Department is running a campaign against the sand mafia. There is a stir among the mafia due to the issue of illegal excavation in sand mines. Even after that, sand smuggling continues through manipulation.

The Mineral Department, while patrolling Mana Abhanpur area at 4 am on Friday, took action on 14 highways, out of which 12 were filled with sand and 1 each was filled with mud and mud.
