Thiruvananthapuram: The works of Mukkola – Karode Bypass Highway Highway Karode, have reached a road barrier with the Ministry of Mining and Geology that ordered work contractors to stop mining activities related to work only two weeks after the sanctions permit.
It has placed the Indian National Highway Authority (NHAI) in improvement because they are now worried that they will fail to complete work in the proposed deadline.
The Mining and Geological Department has allowed permission for construction companies Larson and Toubro Limited, who did road work, on December 10 to extract and remove 60,891 metric tons of ordinary earth from purungkuk land spread across 85.9 regions in the village of Parasuikkal under Neyattinkara Taluk.
But on December 24, the company served notification that directed them to stop mining.
Notifications served by district geology said that the department received complaints that alleged that the mining was illegal and the company’s representatives must emerge before the district geology in January 5, 2022, and produce relevant documents to prove that mining is legally carried out to avoid legal consequences.
NHAI officials were confused about this action because it was the same department that issued permission to mine two weeks before after reading all relevant documents.
Two main prerequisites for securing the permit and environmental permit certificates and approval letters from land property owners near the location where mining will be carried out, all of which are produced by the application for the mining permit application.
” The validity of mining permits is from December 10, 2021, until February 28, 2022.
If this problem is not immediately resolved, we must go through all of these procedures again, which will cause further delays.
The application for mining permits was submitted in August 2021.
We can only carry out mining activities when there is no rain, “said an NHAI official.
He said considered the fact that the state had received excessive rainfall in recent years, they were afraid that all works might be delayed further.
Meanwhile, the officials concerned in the Ministry of Mining and Geology said that the notification was served after they received complaints from local residents.
“The complainant claimed that the land where mining sanctions were allowed to border 10nya and his consent was not taken.
We have continued a letter to Tahsildar and village officials who care to ask complaints, “said an official.
Destroying the allegations, Nhai officials said that the complainants were originally approaching the contractor who demanded money and when they rejected him, he went ahead and filed a complaint.
