Sri Vijaya Puram, April 14: The Revenue Department of South Andaman has issued a stern warning to offenders involved in the illegal dumping of construction debris and soil, stating that such actions will invite swift and serious consequences.

“Dumping construction debris or soil without permission is a punishable offense. We are closely monitoring such violations and will take swift action against offenders,” a Revenue official stated. In a statement, the Revenue Department called upon residents to report any suspicious land modification or dumping activity. The administration has assured strict confidentiality for all informants.
