Police Seize Tractors, Arrest Drivers Amid Illegal Mining Concerns

The police in Asansol caught some tractors carrying sand because they were doing something illegal.

They seized the tractors and arrested the drivers and helpers.

The government had already said that taking sand from riverbanks is not allowed, especially during the rainy season.

Even though it's against the rules, some people are still doing it.

One former leader said that many trucks and tractors are involved and that they are breaking the rules and damaging roads.

Another leader said the police act when they receive specific complaints and that's what they did here.
