During meeting, people put their plight before the administration and Government for a rational and rigorous action against the sand and stone mafia. In this case a deputation of Panchayat was also called on Deputy Commissioner Kathua and urged the district administration and state government, the Sarpanch Panchayat Basantpur, Joginder Singh most of the plundered construction material from Sukal Khad is packed to Panjab where it is sold out at a rate of their own choice by the mafia. They alleged that Government has failed to charge the tax from the stone and sand mafia that resulted not only a great economical loss to the J&K government but also dented the natural features of the Sukal Khad through which water ways disturbed as a danger to the area and even the agriculture land on the either sides of the Khad eroded and converted as fresh Khad that made many farmers as landless. In the meeting it was unanimously decided to block the national highway if administration failed to curb the smugglers.
