Illegal mining at AP shrine: BJP MP Ramesh faces YSRCP ire; Govt stops mining
Illegal gravel mining has sparked a political storm at Andhra Pradesh's sacred Panchadarla hills. Opposition alleges a close aide of an MP is involved in the mining operations. The state mines department found gross violations and excess gravel extraction by the operator. Sacred springs supplying water to the temple have reportedly turned muddy due to the mining. The opposition demands a no-mining zone declaration and a thorough investigation.
