Why illegal sand mining is profitable in UP?

Greater Noida, Aug 2: The suspension of Greater Noida SDM Durga Shakti Nagpal by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has seemingly exposed a strong nexus between political agents, the sand mining mafia and realtors



The Uttar Pradesh government insists that action was not taken against Nagpal because of sand mining but because she ordered the demolition of a wall of a mosque.





Her colleagues in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) are up in arms over the suspension and have urged the central government to intervene.

Explaining the likely role of builders in the suspension, activist Nagar told IANS: "It is the builders who benefit the most from illegal sand mining as the mafia works for them.
