People experiencing difficulties with sand permit delays!

Mr. Vidushan (32), a resident of Trincomalee, has lodged a complaint alleging that the Department of Mineral Resources is facing problems due to delays in the sale of sand licenses.

Settled at Sivan Kovil Road, Trincomalee, he had lodged the complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka on behalf of the public, against the District Secretariat and the Mineral Resources Officers.

The District Mineral Resources Department states that due to the indefinite delay in issuing licenses for the sale of sand annually, the sand yard owners in the district have been prevented from carrying out their business properly. He pointed out that this situation has been seen since the beginning of last year and that this injustice is due to the administration and political policies.

He added that the timely issuance of the permit would greatly reduce the inconvenience caused to the public.
