Perak Land and Mines Dept: Illegal sand mining persists in Manjung despite several stop-work orders
IPOH, Jan 3 — An illegal sand mining operator at Pasir Panjang beach, Manjung continued with its activities despite being given warnings by the authorities to stop work at the site.
“There was no approval or permission issued for the land owned by a manufacturing company so far. An application was made but it has to be brought to the committee stage for study and to obtain technical comments,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today. However, he said the latest situation was under control as a Perak PTG team with MPM had inspected the site so that sand is not transferred out from the turtle landing site.
Earlier Sahabat Alam Malaysia posted two pictures on its Twitter site showing sand excavation in the area which is a level one environmental sensitive zone.
