Synopsis Illegal gravel mining has sparked a political storm at Andhra Pradesh's sacred Panchadarla hills. Opposition alleges a close aide of an MP is involved in the mining operations.
The state mines department found gross violations and excess gravel extraction by the operator. Sacred springs supplying water to the temple have reportedly turned muddy
due to the mining. The opposition demands a no-mining zone declaration and a thorough investigation.
