Chouhan was returning from the Phuladi area in the afternoon when he spotted a sand-laden truck parked on a bridge. Soon, the sub-collector and his driver went to inquire about the truck. However, the sand mafias attacked the sub-collector and his driver leaving them crucially injured. The miscreants also ransacked the sub-collector’s vehicle.
Meanwhile, the district administration swung into action and the sub-collector led a team of executive magistrates and mining officials to demolish illegal brick kilns in Dahapada. The district administration also imposed a fine of Rs 5 crore on the illegal brick kilns.
On the other hand, Section 144 of CrPC has been clamped in the area to maintain a law and order situation.
