India Today
The mining mafia have built a road across the river Ganga at Sumerpur Ghat in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh. The path has divided the stream of the Ganga into two parts.
Adding to the large-scale illegal mining incidents, the mining mafia has now built a road cutting the Ganga at Sumerpur Ghat in the Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh.
The road has divided the stream of the Ganga into two parts. Trucks laden with sand and mud are being sent out at night on the newly built road.
However, the administration was not informed about the construction of the road.
Due to stagnant water, a huge amount of moss has also accumulated on either side of the path. According to the information, mining operations in the area have been carried out over the last several days.
According to DM Sanjay Khatri, the issue is being investigated and strict action will be taken against the people involved in the illegal construction of the road.
