“The river is flowing in full vigour at several places where sand mining was rampant. The riverbed was witnessing large scale sand mining that nearly 10 truck loads were being smuggled out a day. Of the 30 tanks part of the Noyyal river system, 22 are in city limits. Illegal sand mining along the riverbed was brought under control in April after District Administration issued a circular that offenders would be slapped with Goondas Act. Revenue Department and the police also formed special teams to conduct patrols and prevent sand mining.
