2. And whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Thirunallar along with the

Deputy Tahsildar (Excise and Sand mining) and Revenue Inspector concerned have

conducted frequent raids to apprehend the offenders of illegal sand mining to

impound the vehicles used for that purpose, seize the quantum of sand illegally

mined so as to levy compounding fine on the offenders.

3. Whereas, frequent raids on the field concerned, by the Revenue Officials

are yet to yield some results since, the instances of illegal sand mining is still

recurrent and a menace in deed, because the offenders flee away from the site

on spotting out enforcement squads and again resume their illegal activities

within a day or two. In general, the offenders appear to be under the impression

that it is their right to take away the sand from Government land.

4. Whereas, continuous excavation of sand from the bank of Nandalar

river in this especially notified area along the side of Kulakudy Village would

cause dangerous and devastating floods by the breach of the banks of the river

during the seasonal monsoon that may wash away the hamlets and standing crops

in that area.

5. Whereas, it has been made to appear to me that there are sufficient

grounds for proceeding under section 144 (1) of Cr.P.C. to prevent imminent

danger to the lives and properties of the citizen and uphold public safety and order

in the areas of jurisdiction under the Ponbethy and Kurumbagaram Revenue

Villages covering Andoor, Kulakudy and Usupoor hamlets. Hence, it is necessary

that special provisions under section 144 of Cr. P.C is invoked to take action in

order to prevent imminent danger to the lives and properties of the citizen and

uphold public safety.

6. Now, therefore, I, R. Kesavan, I.A.S, Subdivisional Magistrate, Karaikal

after going through the information laid before me and also after satisfying myself

of the need for prohibition of certain activities, do hereby direct to—

Prohibit the unlawful entry of public from entering into the Government

land under R.S. No: 3/15 and R.S. No: 3/10 as Government Dry Land,

Tharisu in Ponbethy Revenue Village along the southern bank of Nandalar

river in the Kulakudy, Andoor and Usupoor hamlets and also under

R.S. No: 270 as Nandalar river and R.S. No: 1 as Government Dry Land,

Tharisu in Kurumbagaram Revenue Village sprawled along the Northern

Bank of Nandalar river for any purpose of excavation and transporting

sand from that land. All vehicular movements inclusive of motorized and

non-motorized are prohibited in that land notified above for a period

of two months from the date of issue of this order or till any further

orders passed by the competent authority revoking this prohibitory order

as per law whichever is earlier.

Dated this 16th day of June, 2017 at Karaikal.

R. KESAVAN, I.A.S.,

Subdivisional Magistrate.
