RAUTAHAT, JANUARY 13

Following the circular from the Ministry of Home Affairs, District Administration Office, Rautahat, closed down three crusher industries operating without permission in the district.

A joint monitoring team consisting members from DAO, District Police Office, District Coordination Committee and Small and Cottage Industry Office had inspected the crusher industries in the field and closed three of them for operating without permission, said DAO Rautahat.

The DAO shut down Ram Janaki Crusher Industry, Ashraya Crusher Industry and Gujara Crusher Industry located at Rautahat's Brindaban-6 and Chandrapur-8.

More than a dozen crusher industries are operating in the district.

Senior Citizens' Association Rautahat Chairman Bijay Kishor Jha said DAO had permitted the operation of crusher industries illegally. "The DAO swung into action only after the circular from the Home Ministry," Jha said.
