Cuttack: A team of mining officials had a close shave when sand mafia allegedly attempted to run a Hyva truck over them on NH-16 near Pratap Nagari in Odisha’s Cuttack district.
The incident took place around 2.50 am on Saturday while they were carrying out enforcement against illegal transportation of sand. As the officials signalled a sand-laden Hyva truck bearing registration number OD-18-C-2097 to stop for checking of documents, the driver speeded on and rammed the vehicle into the office Bolero car parked nearby.
Since the officials were standing a little distance away, they escaped unhurt.
“The driver hit our vehicle partially damaging it, and fled. Mining officer Sambit Sahoo has lodged an FIR against the driver and owner of the Hyva truck with Cuttack Sadar police in this connection,” Deputy director of Mines, Cuttack circle, Dillip Kumar Sahoo told the media.
