Officials Suspended Over Illegal Sand Mining in Beed District
Two revenue department staffers in Maharashtra's Beed district have been suspended for their failure to prevent illegal sand mining in their jurisdiction, an official disclosed on Friday.
The suspended staffers, identified as Purushottam Sudhakar Andhale (mandal adhikari) and Kiran Prabhakar Dandhe (talathi), were found accountable after senior officials noticed significant evidence of unauthorized sand mining near a river basin in Georai taluka.
On Thursday, Beed Collector Avinash Pathak sanctioned the suspensions, citing dereliction of duty by the officials involved, the source confirmed.
