KANCHEEPURAM: Mines Department officials have discovered mounds of illegally quarried sand at Pilapur in Madurantakam taluk.
According to sources, a team of officials from the department conducted vehicle checks in the Chengalpattu area on Tuesday. They impounded two lorries for illegally quarrying sand from the Palar near Thimmavaram.
Based on information, they went to Pilapur and found sand mounds at 20 places, estimated to be around 70 lorry loads. However, the staff of the Revenue Department said they did not know from where the sand was brought, by whom and for what purpose.
