M.C. No. 625/2016
ORDER UNDER SECTION 144 of Cr. P.C.
Whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Villianur has informed that illegal sand mining is being carried out through bullock cart by the villagers of Uthiravaginipet, Periyapet and Kanuvapet in the Government land at R.S. No. 3/1 of Thirukanji Revenue Village with an extent of about 01.57.00 HAC which is located behind the PWD compound wall near IOC gas plant at Villianur Taluk, Puducherry. It is learnt that the way used by the illegal sand miners to reach the said Government land is found to be the eastern side gateway of the burial ground which is not compounded by the Villianur Commune Panchayat;
1938
LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [PART - I And Whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office Villianur along with Revenue Officials in order to prevent entering the said Government land by the illegal sand miners, has excavated the way which leads to the said Government land. But, the said land was again levelled by the miscreants and started mining sand illegally and hence, illegal sand mining continuous to be a routine activity in that area;
And whereas, in spite of regular raids made by the Revenue Officials, the illegal sand mining activity could not be curtailed as the persons engaged in this activity are under the impression that it is their right to take sand. During raids, on seeing the revenue officials the illegal sand miners would run away from the site. This has increasingly become a menace. Mining of sand in the Government lands cause irreparable damage to the land. Hence, the Government land needs to be protected at any cost;
And whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Villianur has also stated that the illegal sand mining through the burial ground by a group of persons has the possibility of triggering communal issue which needs urgent attention to get prohibited by issuing order under section 144 of Cr.PC for the movement of bullock cart or any other vehicle through the burial ground and the Government land at R.S. No. 3/1 of Thirukanji Revenue Village (near Uthiravaginipet);
And whereas, I am satisfied, based on the information placed before me and other facts which are available to me, that the situation in the aforesaid land is likely to cause a threat to the public safety and in my opinion there is sufficient ground for proceedings under section 144 of the code of criminal procedure, 1973 and immediate prevention is desirable;
Now, therefore, based on the reasons stated above, I, N. Udayakumar, Subdivisional Magistrate (South), Villianur in exercise of powers conferred under section 144 of Cr.PC, do hereby prohibit the movement of bullock cart, or any other vehicle (except the vehicle relating to funeral) through the burial ground and the Government land at RS. No. 3/1 of Thirukanji Revenue Village for a period of two months from the date of this order or till any further orders are passed by the competent authority revoking this prohibition as per law, whichever is earlier.
At Villianur, dated this 29th day of November 2016.
N. UDAYAKUMAR,
Subdivisional Magistrate (South).
