Illegal murrum mining is rampant in the municipal area. The murrum mafia is actively engaged in unauthorized mining from 11 PM to 8 AM. The once-flat terrains have been transformed into large pits and ponds, causing environmental damage and destroying farmland. According to local sources, this illegal mining is openly benefiting from political patronage and the negligence of the mining department. The administration’s inaction has emboldened the mafia.
