The use of earthmovers and mini excavators by individuals for laying roads, landscaping and for construction work is banned, clarified Nilgiris District Collector S.P. Amrith on Sunday.
In a press release, the Collector said that recent reports of the use of excavators were investigated by the district administration. The use of heavy machinery for landscaping work in the Nilgiris which is a biosphere reserve is banned unless express permission is given for their use by the District Collector for agricultural works.
