Udupi: Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Mary Francis is fearlessly taking the illegal sand mining mafia head on. Merely few days after the DC, AC and a Village Accountant were assaulted by the sand miners at Kundapura when the trio raided the illegal mining spots, the DC held meeting with the SP and the revenue officials and directed that all the sheds on the river banks set up by the sand mining mafia to store sand as well as other infrastructure must be razed.

A special police team has been formed to accomplish the same and these teams will also have Mines and Geology officials. The raids would be conducted under the leadership of the local Village Accountants.

It is said that the DC wants these teams getting into action as fast as possible and on these lines the Mines and Geology officials have already started their survey.
