A statement has been filed by the Circle Inspector of Police, Wadakkancherry wherein it is stated at paragraph 4 as follows: “........So many lorry operators are making foul play with passes made available from Kadavu. With the same set of pass, they are transporting sand twice or thrice a day. Transporting sand at 6 A.M. with a single pass issued is seen at a short distance of 6 or 7 Kms in the afternoon at 5''o clock with the loaded sand. Then the contention is that the vehicle was at the workshop or having some break complaint etc. The vehicles having valid permit are not being seized at any point of time”.
