LDF paved the way for private black sand-mining lobby to benefit: V.M. Sudheeran

V.M. Sudheeran, a senior Congress leader, criticized the Left Democratic Front (LDF) for facilitating private black sand-mining operations in Kerala. He highlighted that the government's order to remove sand was executed without any environmental impact studies, leading to detrimental effects on the state's coastline and the livelihoods of local communities. This issue underscores the importance of sustainable mining practices and the need for regulatory oversight in natural resource management.
