Two photographs clicked on the weekend shows a man supervising the work with the two vehicles and a pit nearby. Nobody was manning the beach.

Deep mining in short time using machinery to escape the attention of the authorities is banned in any form at the beaches anywhere. Beaches are now shut from public thoroughfare in the monsoon. The authorities remained clueless about the incident. Extending all assistance to the authorities, Abdulali mentions, "The present method of mechanical mining is even more serious and requires very urgent action."
