River Threat!

Some bricks have been dumped into the nandran river. These bricks fell into the river due a truck accident that happened on the national highway. It was the duty of the forest department to clear the menace, but the forest department dint act as per the need.

Besides this, extraction of sand has been taking place on the river beds in the wildlife sanctuary area or on its border. The forest department officials at the Mollem range seems to least bothered about this as they haven't acted in the case.
Our sources in the department say that the round officers are involved in the plot. Few months back, an officer had extracted and transported the sand to Marcel.
