Khammam Police Commissioner Suneel Dutt said the police would take strict action against those involved in sand smuggling. He noted that Khammam shares a border with neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and that illegal transport of sand from the state into the district had come to his notice.

In all, 15 checkposts have been established at the state and district borders, equipped with CCTV cameras and manned by teams from the mining, revenue, and police departments. In addition, police patrol units and special teams will keep a close watch on the movement of suspicious vehicles, the Commissioner added.
