Villagers of Kudumiyanmalai have urged the district administration to take strict action against illicit quarrying of sand in the Vellar.
In a memorandum submitted to V.Kalaiarasi, Collector, villagers alleged that illegal quarrying of sand has been brisk in villages in and around Seranur and Parambur village panchayats both near Kudumiyanmalai. Ground water table in the area would deplete and would impede agricultural operation, they said.
