PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday criticised the Tamil Nadu government’s decision to open new sand quarries in 15 locations in Tiruvallur, Vellore, Villupuram, Cuddalore and Tiruchi districts.
He said sand was not being mined in the State in a legal manner and indiscriminate mining had resulted in a severe environmental damage. “This has affected the water table and the sea water has entered into the residential areas. This is dangerous,” he said.
