M.C. No. 215/2017
ORDER UNDER SECTION 144 of Cr. P.C.
Whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Villianur has informed that during
recent raids on illegal sand mining at Odiampet area, it is observed that the
supporting wall provided along the road portion adjoining the GP land at R.S. No. 255
of Odiampet Revenue Village leading to the IOC Gas Plant has been damaged due
to the illegal mining of sand in the GP land. The GP land is 15 to 20 feet deep and,
therefore, the road portion in the present condition is posing as danger to the
movement of the heavy vehicles and the safety of the persons passing nearby also
it is a threat to the public safety;
And whereas, few years back the adjoining Sankarabarani River was flown
into this parcel of GP land and later, it was disconnected from the river after laying
of the road at R.S. No. 256. As such, it had lot of deposit of sand and hence,
the shallow depression has now been made as deep depression due to the removal
of sand from the said land;

And whereas, at present the three sides of the land (i.e.,) East, North, South
sides have been fenced with granite stone-wall to a height of 6 feet. The Western
side of the GP land adjoining the road is provided with supporting wall up to road
level only. Taking advantage of this, the people from the nearby villages have
damaged some portion of the wall and are entering into the land and illegally mining
sand from there. Even the buffer space between the road and the supporting wall
in R.S. No. 253 has not been spared. The continued and indiscriminate illegal sand
mining by hundreds of bullock carts on daily basis unmindful of the safety concerns
have rendered the land with numerous deep holes and causes damage to the
supporting wall along certain parts of road. This damaged portion poses as threat
to the general safety and security of public movement. The main water pipe
connection from the nearby pump house leading to other places through this land
underground is now exposed and susceptible due to removal of the sand;
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, IOC gas plant which is engaged in filling of LPG
cylinders is located adjacent to the above field. All the vehicles meant of the plant
have to pass through this part of the road. Many giant tanker lorries containing
LPG are also passing through the said road on daily basis. Further, a high
school and a temple frequented by people is also located within 100 meters distance.
In the view of the above, any sliding of the earth below the road portion during
the passage of tanker lorries carrying LPG, then it would be a disastrous. In other
case, the weakened base of soil along with the damaged wall portion may at one stage
lead to land slip and damage the road extensively thereby cutting of the traffic flow;
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 the powers conferred under
section 144 of Cr.PC, do hereby prohibit public from entering into the compound
portion of the land at R.S. No. 255 of Odiampet 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 24th day of May 2017.

M.C. No. 216/2017
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;
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 thereby reducing groundwater level and affecting
the ecosystem. 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 Uthiravahinipet);
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, affecting the environment and lead to
depletion of groundwater level 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;
