The two JCB operators—Ghanashyam Guru of Deogarh and Sanjay Dash of Athagarh area in Cuttack district— were engaged in excavating boulders for the ongoing Telengiri Irrigation project in Bariput village when the hill suddenly caved in around 5 pm on May 31.
It may be mentioned that the Koraput Sub Collector in a letter on April 23 had requested the district administration and the police to take action against the company for its illegal stone quarrying between Ranigada village and Telengiri project. He had also ordered the seizure of two JCB machines and a compressor used in the quarrying.
It is not yet known under whose instruction the stone quarrying was going on at the place which is only 500 metres away from the Telengiri project.
