Siliguri: Amid a changing political landscape in the state, the Siliguri Metropolitan Police have strengthened their stance against illegal sand and stone smuggling. On Sunday, the Bhaktinagar police took decisive action by seizing two tractors loaded with sand in the Netaji Nagar area.

The operation forms part of a broader campaign to combat illicit resource extraction, which has been a growing concern in the region. The local police have increased vigilance and enforcement actions to curb these illegal activities, contributing to environmental degradation.

This action highlights the commitment of law enforcement to address unauthorized trade and protect natural resources effectively. Authorities have reported that further investigations are underway to identify and prosecute those involved in the smuggling operations.

The move underscores the police department’s readiness to act against illegal activities that can undermine lawful economic growth and environmental sustainability. The community and local stakeholders have appreciated the increased efforts to maintain ecological balance and uphold legal norms.

Details on potential further operations or policy changes are still emerging, as the police continue to evaluate strategies to prevent such unlawful practices in the future.
