Sri Lanka Navy and Walana Anti-Corruption Unit are assisting operation carried out by the Geological Survey and Mines Bureau (GSMB) to raid the illegal sand mining spots in the Trincomalee District, the Navy said.
The GSMB has launched a special operation to identify and raid illegal sand mining spots in Trincomalee on May 28 to 30. Accordingly, several areas were searched during the operation, and during the raids licences for sand mining were also checked.
