YSRCP MP urges Centre to halt mining near heritage sites in Vizag

YSRCP MP M Gurumoorthy met Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to seek intervention against mining near heritage sites.

Mining and quarrying threaten the ASI-protected Dhanadibbalu Buddhist site and Sri Dharmalingeswara Swamy Temple in Visakhapatnam's Panchadharla Hill.

Blasting from mining poses serious risks to India's archaeological and cultural legacy.
