Recently the Mines Department conducted surprise inspections on this quarry. In this, a huge difference was seen between the stock moved from the quarry and the stock in the crusher. Officials found a huge difference in the details between the road metal stock brought from the quarry near Chiyedu village and the road metal stock in the stone crusher. With this, measurements were taken in the quarry.


Of these measurements, the crusher unit operators did not show details of 24,370 cubic meters in the records. No scenery is paid for it. However, the officials found that the money had been illegally moved. After these inspections, the officials of the Department of Mines have issued a notice to Nitin Sai Construction to tell where to move the metal with the difference. But, there was no response from the management to their notices. In this order, the officials calculated the amount of the illegally transported road metal and imposed a fine of five times.
