Modi should break silence on illegal sand mining in Bihar : Congress

Patna, Jun 30 (UNI) Congress on Wednesday asked former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP member of Rajya Sabha Sushil Kumar Modi to break his silence regarding the continuing illegal sand mining in the state.
Chairman of media cell of Bihar Congress Rajesh Rathore said here that the turnover of illegal sand mining in Bihar was more than Rs 1,000 crore every year. State was losing hundreds of crores in revenue due to illegal mining of sand, he added.
The Congress leader said that Mr Modi should break his silence on illegal sand mining in Bihar. It was certain that without political patronage by ruling parties leaders, no such illegal mining could be carried out, he said. There was a clear nexus of police officials, administrative officials and their political masters, he pointed out.
