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).
